The eighth novel from the series “A. Smolin, witcher.” Usually returning home after long wanderings in a foreign land brings joy and peace of mind, and also promises a calm and glorious holiday. But this does not apply to normal people, to Alexander Smolin. He is a witcher, so he cannot count on an easy life, especially since many of those who made him part of their far-reaching plans are difficult and influential people. However, this does not mean that Smolin will accept the rules of someone else’s game and do what he is told. And this means one thing - cheerful and very hot summer days in all respects await him.
