About the book: 2018 / I didn’t think that I would ever manage to get into the magical world. Yes, which one! There are no dragons, monsters or unicorns here, and the elves have long since died out from the plague. But here there is a seedy Empire, which is falling apart under the incompetent rule of an elderly emperor. The Empire's debts are enormous, its neighbors are sharpening their teeth, the Steppe is awaiting tribute, the hidden and overt intrigues of local nobles and magicians are tearing the country to pieces. What about me? What did I... I managed to end up in the body of the Arch Chancellor of this Empire. The Arch Chancellor has been given two years of absolute power, and during this time I must save the country from destruction. But first I need to get to the capital and take power into my own hands. But this is not so easy to do: many do not want the Arch Chancellor to take over. They are trying to kill me, and it is not known who is friend and who is enemy. Ahead is the imperial capital.
