Лучшие книги Тарана Матару

Сирота Флетчер, помощник кузнеца, внезапно обнаруживает у себя редкую способность вызывать демонов из другого мира. Вынужденный бежать из родной деревни, юноша отправляется в столицу Империи Хоминума, где его принимают в Академию Адептов. Вместе с другими студентами, дворянами и простолюдинами, Флетчер начинает обучение непростому искусству вызывания демонов, чтобы в будущем стать боевым магом и служить империи в войне с орками. Однако закулисные интриги дворян против вызывающих из простонародья заставляют юношу применить полученные знания на практике гораздо раньше назначенного срока. Впервые на русском языке!

On trial for a crime he did not commit, Fletcher must face the Inquisition who will decide his future - the process is gruelling, lead by those who will do anything to see him suffer and haunted by ghosts from the past with clues to Fletcher's tragic origins.

But Fletcher has little time to dwell on these new revelations when the king announces a deadly challenge to the graduating students at Vocans. One that involves entering Orc territory to complete a risky mission. With loyal demons by their sides, commoners and nobles, dwarves and elves must overcome barriers of class and race and work together to triumph. The reward: a fortune in gold, the safety of an empire and PEACE.

With the entire empire watching, Fletcher has much to prove, but there are those out to get him and it soon becomes clear that there's a traitor in their midst, trying to thwart the mission and create unrest within the Empire.

With everything stacked against him, Fletcher must use everything in his power to fight his way to victory.

We rejoin Fletcher and his friends in the ether, where they must undertake a mortally dangerous quest, all the while avoiding capture by enemies and facing foes more terrifying than anything they have yet encountered.

But this is nothing compared to what truly lies ahead for Fletcher, as his nemesis, albino orc Khan, is on a mission to destroy Hominum and everything and everyone that Fletcher loves.
