About the author
Andrey Vasilyev
61 books146 followersAt times, I feel I was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, I am a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.
I started writing in my late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after my first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, I had to give serious thought to changing my current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for my readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game (link) the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” I never looked back after that.
Over the next few years, I continued work on the now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. I am also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.

This is the penultimate book of the series and things go from bad to worse. Students of the Raven have to fight in the war for the very existence of mages not bound by the rule of the main character's former employer, Gai Tullius.
Things get steadily more depressive, but the "game of thrones" is interesting and explain that when kings fight for power, you're lucky to get out alive, much less victorious and free.
One of the more interesting points of the book is the students' interactions with other mages. Finding out the great and sometimes terrible crafts of other mages is fascinating. It allows the reader to see magics practiced not only by the Raven himself, but by others, especially journeymen mages that explore the world in search of more spells or just a place to settle down.
The crazy ex-student Victor, still pursues his mad vendetta against the students that participated in the mission to retrieve the book from the Tomb of the Five Mages, but sadly, the author had turned him into a caricature for whom the only outcome is death.
