Dark waters of the past hide many secrets. One of them shaped the complicated relationship between Sergey and Vita’s parents. Not only the colossal age difference prevented the lovers from being together—another, more serious reason separated them for many years from the people closest to them. Betrayal, treachery, rejected love—everything the heroes had to survive. This is the fourth book in the cycle "Cicadas" by Evgeniya Perova, standing apart from the three previous novels.
