Wandering through a snowy wasteland, a bounty hunter accidentally becomes the owner of a page from an old book. He does not yet know that this discovery will bring him together with a group of unpleasant individuals and send him on a long, amazing and very dangerous journey.

But the problems correspond to the opportunities: more than once or twice I found myself on the verge of death, more than once or twice I literally rose from the dead. My life is stormy. I've been to hundreds of different worlds. I saw something that no one else has seen. I visited the gods and fought demons. And in the end I faced an enemy, the most terrible of which has not yet been invented... Contents:
