The Price of Return

A magical world where a former veteran of the Russian counterintelligence has settled comfortably. Wealth, honors, a peaceful life. And no dangers — without them, there's plenty to do. Now, his friends are at risk. One has been sent as... a spy to a foreign country and found himself on the brink of failure. The other must save him, draw the attention of counterintelligence to himself — that is the order. And perish. Or will the agent of the Gallic intelligence be able to return? Having gone through pain and blood, having seen death, but still just a fifteen-year-old boy. Knowing little and, in many ways, naive. There may be small chances, but they exist. The question, as always, is the price. Will he be able to pay?
