Here is the second book of Vera Kamsha’s fantasy-romance series “Reflections of Eternity”—the literary basis for the film adaptation “Eterna. Part One.”

The “Reflections of Eternity” cycle is often regarded as one of the strongest examples of historical fantasy in the post-Soviet space. In scope and intensity of events, it can be compared to the novels of Alexandre Dumas and Henryk Sienkiewicz.

This story begins in the depths of thousands of years—at the hour when the ruler of Great Anaxia condemned the violent brother to death and, in response, heard a curse.

This story began centuries ago—when treachery put a nameless upstart on the throne of a decrepit kingdom, and a knight who remained loyal to his fallen liege punished the traitor.

This story began quite recently—when the heirs of the defeated rose up against the heirs of the victors. And once again, they were defeated.

This story began when the son of a slain rebel swore an oath of loyalty to the man who killed his father. And when the war was won—victory in which seemed impossible.

Feasts and pogroms, theological disputes and rituals from which no one walks away alive, secret rendezvous and harsh interrogations, forged letters, forged couriers, forged attempts on lives, forged feelings… In the swinging nooses, the gallows bodies dangle; above the crazed capital, the bells ring out; from the old walls, unclean things creep down; a girl who never knew happiness mourns a dead horse, and in the wine, grains of poison dissolve. Illusion and reality, love and hatred, duels and drinking bouts—“tears” and “blood.” That is how the world is made. “It’s somehow cozier at war”—but first you still have to live through it.
