What is the source that allows the “legates” to penetrate a parallel world without obstacles? Each drop of blood from this source has immense value and triggers a desire on both sides of the unstable border—but does it provide any benefits? The stories of ordinary people involved in experiments and a few separate risky investigations in the ruined town of Akarmara are fragments of a puzzle. The reader, like a detective, collects new knowledge, seeking—together with the heroine—to solve the mystery of Kara Bogovaya and, along with the foundling girl, get closer to understanding the passage into the “green world.”
The events unfold in different time periods and locations. The characters are vivid and non-standard, each one memorable, with a backstory, habits, and unique fates. The detective plotline is carefully designed. The novel hooks you from the very start and keeps your attention until the very end.
