An inexplicable catastrophe turns a small provincial town into an anomalous zone—an object called “Medusa,” full of dangers and mysteries. The government seals the city off from the outside world, but through cordons and checkpoints, insiders keep breaking through—people who, for different reasons, are forced to make money from smuggling valuable artifacts.
But what really happened to the city? What strange creatures now inhabit its streets? What do the deadly Amber Fields hide?
What science can’t handle will have to be solved by a former resident of the forbidden city—and now an insider, Viktor Kulikov.
