Walking in the Night. Book 1: Reapers of Suffering

Everyone in life is given a choice, but what to do when the choice comes by itself – suddenly and without a chance to refuse? What to do when the road to your dream is paved with blood, and you sometimes seem like a piece of meat to yourself? And how to be, if the dream dies, leaving only emptiness behind?
You cannot become a warrior without killing at least once. You cannot be a sorcerer without touching death. You cannot learn to be a healer without cutting living flesh. In this world, being a protector means knowing cruelty, dirt, and pain. But love will endure everything. Even what reason cannot bear.
