Author of science fiction Demchenko A.V.

If you grew up on the ruins of civilization, you see how your world is slowly degenerating and dying, cruel, ugly, but familiar and dear, and fate suddenly throws up an incredible chance to start all over again... You will grab onto it with your hands and feet. You will escape from the stench and malice of those around you since birth, you will go to other worlds and see that not everything is in order there either. And in seemingly prosperous countries, evil, hatred, and greed are also brewing. So was it worth changing one for the other? Timm thinks it is worth it. There, in a world dying from radiation contamination and mutations, only the grave of his only relative remained, whose name he did not even know. And here... There are no thermonuclear charges, chemical or bacteriological weapons, and trouble is still oh so far away. And if she does come, her brother-friends will stand to meet her, next to Timm, shoulder to shoulder. And even if there is not a single person among them, even if they are called the Spawns of Chaos and the Children of the Night, what does it matter if they are devoted to each other, and will always help to get out of any trouble...
