About the book: 2012 / How much is needed for happiness? Everyone decides for themselves. Some are driven by ambition to achieve a coveted position in the government; for others, a modest dacha in a distant village is enough. Some people want to win the Olympic Games, while others are content with a simple black belt. There are people who want to rule the world, and people who dream of controlling their own destiny. The latter includes Shurik, an unlucky representative of a powerful ancient family. But he has a special relationship with fate, or more precisely, with Lady Luck. She loves him with a very strange love. She deprived her of magic, tossed her around the continents, picked up a difficult maid... Although, maybe she chose the right one?
