The Castle on the Third Mountain. Book 1. The King Who Had No Heart

At twenty years old, Jack has not achieved remarkable success and is content with that. Having given up on a career as a doctor, he dropped out of school and returned to his hometown. Now he enjoys a measured lifestyle:... living in a small apartment, working part-time at the library, and responding vaguely to questions about the future: "Right now, I'm happy". But with friends like his, one can only dream of peace. Tony has dreamed of wonders since childhood and is ready to go after his dreams, while Grace follows the call of blood: she has discovered relatives in another reality. Jack, on the other hand, goes into the magical realm just for company. He is not looking for adventures; he just wants to find and understand himself. But fate, which he does not believe in, clearly has its own plans for Jack. On his journey through this remarkable world, he will meet a dragon, find an unexpected calling, fall in love, and perhaps understand what prophetic dreams are hinting at.
