Voronov Vladimir - Tower of Lost Souls

A peculiar story about how one of the strongest magicians of the local world came to power. It stands out for the way it is narrated in the form of a confession story to a local monk who sailed to a “barbarian” state as part of a diplomatic mission but quickly found out that reality differs from his expectations

The helplessness of local shadow rulers in front of a magician who has enormous powers and cannot be used in the way that they are accustomed to using all their surroundings is well shown. At the same time, the magician, despite his enormous powers and seeming disregard for others, turns out to be not so callous. He tries to solve problems in the easiest (as it seems to him) way. But he quickly finds out that despite his strength, he still can’t get by with little blood. Therefore, all he wants is for truthful information to be conveyed about his actions so that his descendants can judge his actions unbiasedly.
