Kraft has no memory of a time before Scholl, a terrible fog that swallowed up most of Britain, killing those caught in it or turning them into terrible monsters called aberrats.

But suddenly Kraft’s life changes. He is sent to the Castle, where he will be trained to work as a gatekeeper - the operator of magical portals that allow the mysterious guild to explore Scholl. This is a dangerous job with a very short life expectancy...To survive, Craft will have to use his cunning to the last drop - no matter how dearly it costs him... **Translation of the book by the VKontakte group:** ***Vocabula* ****Group address:* *
