Description

The audiobook includes the works “The White Fir” and “The Face of Victory,” as well as a bonus track—“Quentin Durak’s Romance,” performed by Канцлер Ги.

The third part of Vera Kamsha’s fantasy cycle “Reflections of Eternity” is the literary basis for the film adaptation “Eterna. Part One.”

“Reflections of Eternity” is often described as one of the strongest examples of historical fantasy in the post-Soviet space. The cycle comprises 17 books and is comparable in scope to “Game of Thrones.”

Victory… Defeat… Sometimes they are almost impossible to tell apart. One celebrates, another curses; someone switches sides, and someone can’t understand how it happened—and why it happened to them. Horror in the eyes of the condemned, satisfaction on the executioner’s face, a black rider breaking free from blinding light, the whistle of a blade, and death.

Defeat… Victory… When faced with them head-on, someone manages to remain human, while someone loses it. What is worth a service already rendered? Renunciation torn out by force? A vow given in the heat of the moment—faithfulness, friendship, love?

A rebellion may end in success, and success seems to erase debts: the victors are not tried; the victors take everything they want… or everything they deserve? Under the blows of battering rams, the ships’ hulls crack; through the fateful night, a mysterious Hunt races on, and violins foretell the inevitable. Behind false colors and forged oaths, death lies in wait—it is ready to sting. It will sting.

Victory… Defeat… Sometimes they swap places. Who will be able to remain human—and who will remain at all?
