About the book: year / Losing everything to get even more in return. Is this possible? It turns out - yes. Artem Magidov, being a self-confident, wealthy young man, could not even imagine that in an instant you could lose everything: the meaning of your existence, your life and your world. And for what? To die ingloriously, or, even worse, to turn into a real Dark Lord?! Or maybe in order to overcome all obstacles, win the fight with oneself, subjugate forces beyond the control of any mortal, to become the new Guardian of the Balance of the world. World of Islands. This is unknown to anyone except the gods, and their desires and actions are changeable, like a woman’s mood. But even the almighty gods had to give in to Ronin’s desire - to stay alive at any cost, albeit in a new incarnation.
