What do book miscreants usually do? That's right, saving the world. But what if the world you’ve been brought into doesn’t seem to need saving at all, and you have no idea why you’re here and what’s next? A simple student from St. Petersburg will have to change his profession, understand who is friend and who is enemy, find out what the girl sings about in the church choir, go through a real war that breaks even the strongest, and, most importantly, find his place in the new world - or his way back home. Fantasy about growing up, about finding your own path and about the fact that heroes are not born.
