The son of a soldier. Book 3. The magic of the apostate. Hobb R.

The inhabitants of Gettis believed that Nevar Burv, their cemetery watchman, was guilty of monstrous atrocities. In this border-border fortress city, reprisal against the criminal never forced herself to wait, but this time it did not take place-the rage of the crowd lost to the witchcraft of invisible rulers, who decided to take the fate of the young man into their own hands. Nevar goes into the forest - magicians want to turn it into a weapon, which will help stop the Herzian invasion on the lands of the people of the Sky. And the Nevar is close to submitting to their will, because any attempt to resist does not give him anything but pain and despair, and he no longer believes that in his power to reconcile sworn enemies.
