A terrible epidemic suddenly and swiftly engulfs the world. People literally go mad and attack their fellow humans—with the single goal of killing as many as possible. Meanwhile, the “infected,” as they’re called, lose what little remains of their minds, stop feeling pain, and their bodies become many times stronger and faster. Authorities everywhere are in shock, because no one understands what causes it, and the consequences are catastrophic. Anyone can lose their mind at any moment—so you can’t trust anyone.
In the second book, the main hero, Tikhon, learns that the infected become more intelligent and can act in an organized way. Moreover, he personally has to face them—not just once. But the threat isn’t limited to crazed creatures: some seemingly healthy people, in a crisis and with insufficient control from the authorities, become more ruthless than beasts. The hero realizes an important truth: it’s not only necessary to protect yourself, but also to help those who can’t stand up for themselves, even in the face of danger. And the “Ash of Trust” chat gradually becomes something more than just a communication service. Listen to the continuation of this gripping story!
