About the book: 2002 / This book concludes the adventures of Eurich in Monomatan, the beginning of which is described in the novel "Wind of Fortune." The predictions come true - fate brings the hero together with the leader of the robbers, who hopes with his help to find her son - the rightful heir to the imperial throne. Eurich and his friends find themselves involved in a struggle for power. Swords and poisoned arrows are used; opponents do not hesitate to use bribery and sorcery. Victories are replaced by defeats, disappointment is replaced by hope, and above the battle and the intricate interweaving of destinies, the SHADOW OF THE EMPEROR emerges more and more clearly.
