About the book: year / 16+ A long time ago, the most powerful magicians united and created an indestructible union - the community of Supreme Guardians. Their main task was to protect the earth from natural disasters: tsunamis, forest fires, tornadoes and earthquakes... They monitored everything, helping people, protecting them and fighting evil. But those days are gone, and now there is only one Guardian - Ignatius de Fontez. Instead of the required half a century, he has held his post for more than three hundred years. And besides, he is friends with the most powerful demon of the Desert Lands - a world that must be constantly kept under control so as not to release the demons locked in it. Ignatius wants to retire and is looking for a successor... The demon promises to help him and find four worthy students. This is where the story begins about the difficult journey of a simple girl with the unusual name Andy, who will have to take part in a great test and play an important role in the cunning plans of the Lord of the Desert Lands. But there are other contenders for the place of the Supreme Guardian. One of them is Alexei, a twenty-year-old young man who dreams of becoming Ignatius’s successor like no one else. Fate brings him to Andy.
