Where the worlds come together, they stand - guardians who are destined to keep the boundaries, to mark the limits. From medieval Britain to exotic planets, to an archipelago where the magic of the sea is strong, to a Krakow that has survived the War of the Worlds, there are those who need help everywhere. In the new anthology “Nineteen Guardians,” the best authors from Ukraine, Great Britain, China, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland and Russia tell bright, fascinating stories about honor that is higher than death, about duty that is stronger than any adversity. The desert winds of a colony on a distant frontier, Scandinavian magic, the world of the witcher Geralt, a universe in which magicians travel to other planets - all this and much more awaits you on the pages of this collection.
