Войны заканчиваются, скрытое противостояние между странами не прекращается никогда. Всегда будут люди, охотящиеся за чужими секретами, и люди, эти секреты охраняющие. Не рыцари на белых скакунах, но рыцари плаща и кинжала. Неприметные работники тайных служб.

Себастьян Март в своем деле один из лучших, но даже он всего лишь карта в беспрестанно тасующейся колоде. Меняются расклады, меняются противники: чернокнижники, торговцы дурманом, предатели в собственных рядах, а настоящие игроки остаются в тени. Попробуй подобраться к ним, и немедленно окажешься перед необходимостью выбирать: исполнить ли долг или спасти тех, кто близок. Бездна или плаха — выбор невелик.

About the author

Pavel Kornev

102 books91 followers
Pavel Kornev is a popular Russian author whose writing crosses the boundaries of the sci fi thriller, fantasy adventure and steampunk. Genre mashing has long become his signature style.

“His books are a page-turning mix of non-stop action and hard-boiled detective stories in the edgy atmosphere of steampunk noir. Far from being a knight on a white charger, Kornev’s typical protagonist is an everyday man with his fair share of flaws who puts his talents to good use. His heroes struggle to survive and win their places in the sun; but most importantly, they manage to preserve their humanity even in the direst of circumstances.”

Pavel is a professional economist who spent years working for a large bank – until his first novel, The Ice, became an overnight bestseller, allowing him to quit his day job. He now writes full time.
