Dear readers, I present to you a book codenamed “Guardian of the System.” The action takes place in the setting of the magical world of the Masters, described in the “Corrector” and “Lake Lord” dilogy, but from the perspective of a different hero. The book is not a direct continuation of the dilogy and can be read as an independent text.

Alexander Popov had to defend himself and his family from bandits with arms in hand. Now he faces a difficult choice: seek justice in court and lose his freedom, or, on the advice of a strange stranger, go to the Zagorensky Skete, which does not exist on the maps - a place where people who despair in life are recruited into the service of “System Control” and are taught to change the current reality to suit their desires .
