Everything is wonderful at the Gorisyetovo estate! A restored house, a well-kept park, a greenhouse with exotic plants, tennis courts, and horseback rides. And the apotheosis of individuality—the Candle Tower, created according to the design of the brilliant August Berg. Paradise on earth! Thanks to the efforts of the new owners, Agnija Gorisyetova’s dream has finally come true—more than a century ago, she founded an orphanage for gifted orphan girls on the estate. First, the orphanage. Then, a summer camp for talented young people. Today it’s an elite country school. Everything for the children! Always for the children! But the children disappear… Children die… Children lose their reason and the spark given by God… And on dark, stormy nights, an dazzling-bright flame flares up from the Candle Tower’s viewing platform. The legend says that that’s how Luminaries are born. The legend is silent about whose will brings them into this world and what they take with them as they leave. Mіroslava is one of those talented and promising girls. Both talent and hope—along with her memory from thirteen years ago—were taken by the Candle man: an elusive killer, an accomplice of the very darkness. And now, years later, the Candle man returns. Strange fire is lit in the tower again. And the grown Mirоslava decides to deal both with her own past and with the century-old evil that has been hiding on the estate. " "
