Now the vampires hunt not only at night, and the path becomes even more dangerous. Mavina, Varde, and Smorodnik learn to work together to achieve their goals and find out whether Mavina’s brother was turned into a goat. Ilar and Kupava wander the Lands, trying to get away from enemies. The confrontation between sorcerers, vampires, and people is growing, but no one knows where the truth lies. Soon sorcerous fire will flare up—and it will become clear who the flames will consume and who will be swallowed by the foggy swamp.
