Steampunk

Author: Alexey Pekhov

It's hard to run away from your past. To do this, you will have to overcome many difficulties and find yourself on the other side of the world, in a country of warm sun, gentle ocean and tropical islands. Where air pirates and dashing captains roam the sky, robbery and smuggling flourish, rum flows like a river and everyone respects flyers. In a world on the border of the Upside Down, dizzying adventures and miracles await all fortune hunters.

Spider Dakota, a mindless killer covered in tattoos from head to toe. At first glance, you can’t tell that this barbarian has pawned his soul to the devil - and, it seems, for the seventh time... or the eighth? Richier Fox Tail is from a family of sorcerers and werewolves. A young aristocrat with excellent recommendations: vagrancy, acting, mercenary service. Oh yeah, he also hates golems. Well, it doesn’t happen to anyone. Castor di Tull, last of the knights of the Order of Executors. Smart, brave, honest, former pirate. Treats women disgustingly. The knight can be understood - because of a woman, all his brothers in the order were killed. Now all that remains is to find out which of them will get the Wild Talent, and why they are still alive. Well, at least one of them is alive.

The long-term war between the magicians and the defenders of Raynan ended in the defeat of the former. The vanquished pledged to comply with the established procedures, for which they officially received the rights of equals. Life slowly returned to its usual peaceful course, and, it would seem, nothing foreshadowed new unrest. But the power-hungry, proud magicians could not so easily forget the bitterness of humiliation that befell them after the war. Having gathered new strength, having raised the younger generation, they decided to regain their lost greatness...

Countries are like people. Any person can become a victim of a criminal, no matter whether he is good or bad. Any country can become a victim of aggression. Not because it is ruled by a tyrant, not because bad people live in it. Just because someone rich decided to become even richer. You can give up, you can say that the enemy is strong and it is useless to resist him. Or you can decide to fight back. And win.

What's the worst thing for magicians? A magician who is cooler. But this is a special case. And the global one is exactly my case - anti-magician. This is how my gift was initially understood as an anti-gift. Who knew that things would turn out even worse?
