Translation of the third (in fact, final) book by Piers Anthony from the “Beginner Adept” series. About the adventures of the Adept in the worlds of Proton and Phase. On Proton, he received death threats, and in the Phase, an alternate world ruled by magic, he had to master magic, fight a dragon, win the friendship of a lady unicorn, find his enemy among the paranoid Adepts, and return from the Phase to win the Great Games on Protone. After that, he was ready to face real problems!
