Ученики Ворона #2
Гробницы пяти магов
Кто сказал, что подмастерья мага летом, когда у всех студиозусов каникулы, будут отдыхать? Это непозволительная роскошь. И вот уже самозваный барон Эраст фон Рут в компании своих соучеников направляется куда-то далеко на юг, где в пустыне находится древний некрополь, в котором лежит некая книга, которая позарез нужна его учителю, известному в магическом мире под прозвищем Ворон. Горы и реки, разбойники и орден Истины, рыцарские турниры и тени прошлого... Чего только не ждет юных странников на этом пути. И кто знает, сумеют ли они дойти до цели, а после вернуться назад?

About the author
Andrey Vasilyev
61 books145 followersAt times, I feel I was meant to be an innkeeper someplace on the outskirts of Bree in J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. However, in real life, I am a much-celebrated Moscow-based author, as well as one of the originators of the relatively new, yet insanely popular, LitRPG genre that blends cyberpunk, classic sci-fi, and fantasy.
I started writing in my late 30’s and only “because there was nothing handy to read,” but after my first two books gained nearly instant acclaim, I had to give serious thought to changing my current banking career to that of a professional writer. Fortunately for my readers, who had voted his debut novel More Than a Game (link) the “Best Book of the Year 2014,” I never looked back after that.
Over the next few years, I continued work on the now-bestselling Fayroll series, maintained a blog, and participated in various multiple-author projects. I am also the author of The Raven’s Flock and The Arch series, which will soon be available in English.

This is the second book in the "Raven's students' series. Very much the previous book, the author explores the world where the magi are above the common people, but are far more vulnerable to be burned.
The Raven, the cranky mage that has received the staff from the gods allowing to take on apprentices gives out missions to his students that survived the mage initiation test. Instead of the expected vacation the Raven splits his remaining pupils into three teams and sets difficult missions to be completed by the beginning of autumn.
Erast von Ruth is still required to report to Agrippa, the henchman of the mage that bound him in a forbidden ritual so he could spy on his old enemy Raven. In addition to this, the road to acquire an ancient book is filled with danger, inquisitors that would like nothing more than put the new apprentices to the flame and revelations about his fellow group members.
Vasilyev had created a new fantasy world with its own history, laws and conflicts using existing tropes yet creating something completely new. It's a shame that I can't recommend this to my English speaking friends as I don't believe there is an English translation.
