The most ordinary gangster shooter and the same ordinary police operation change in the most unusual way the fate of two operas and a frostbitten “brother.” Escaping from pursuit, he flew into a cave and pulled the trigger of his TT. A landslide blocked the exit from the cave. Trying to get out, the opera and the brother went towards the light, barely visible at the end of the passage. But it turned out that the shot destroyed the Forgotten Roads - the corridors of time. The whole company emerged in another world. And then what a normal person cannot dream of even in a nightmare - good and the forces of evil, dark worlds, battles, campaigns, elves and dwarves, mysterious swords... This is the first book in a series of eight books written in the genre of Russian fantasy about “ hitchhikers.” The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
