Zhenya is a pianist whose music can awaken monsters.
After a tragic incident at a concert, he leaves for Petersburg in the hope of finding peace—but instead of silence, he gets a neighbor magician and a position in the Heavenly Halls, where the heavenly beings are far from saintly, demons don’t always embody evil, and every one of them trails a wake of secrets.
Now, together with the charming Felix Rybkin—a spellcaster who can turn into a golden fish—he unravels magical crimes, pulls people out of trouble, and does everything he can not to become the very villain he fears the most.
Because in this world, three forces rule: light, darkness, and the accursed.
And it seems his fate is to end up among the last.
