About the book: year / Antony Kryukov the youngest from the ancient clan of witchers. He is also the son of a simple woman, so he cannot count on the full recognition and trust of the clan. But even the witchers didn’t do the same; Anthony's older brothers are busy with business, they have no time for war with werewolves and have no time for keeping an eye on witches. So Kryukov Sr. summoned Anthony from the city to the protected forests of the Foothills to teach him the craft of witchers. Anthony will have to pacify two clans of werewolves, fight charlatans and win the heart of the beautiful Maria, the daughter of a priest, whom the Kryukovs want to initiate into a witch, and the leader of the werewolves wants to make him his wife.
