Jeweler. The Shadow of Seraphim: a novel

Jeweler — not the last person in a world where magic is contained in precious stones. The work of a jeweler is always in demand — and always hopeless, like any game with death. The job of a jeweler is to take risks. Alas, luck does not always smile upon the brave. Sometimes, fulfilling an order is much more complicated than you think. Sometimes, you can find yourself just a pawn in someone else's big game, the goals of which are not immediately clear. Sometimes it can be truly frightening... no, not to die — but to lose yourself. ...So what will it be, sapphires? Classic cornflower blue or the rare color of a sunset? Fragile green emeralds or bright, rich rubies of the shade 'pigeon blood'? Or maybe incredibly expensive colored diamonds? What will your new order be?
