After long and difficult adventures, Katya Miroshkina finally returns to her parents in the world of gods. All dangers are behind her, but the girl has never felt lonelier. Katya had to part with Yarusha and Mogina; everything around her is alien and unfamiliar, and her parents can’t give her time: her mother is constantly busy, while her father keeps avoiding her. Trying to talk to them, the girl accidentally overhears their argument about her: on her long road home, she left open a passage into the world of gods. A thief used it—sneaking into Veles’s palace and stealing the important diaries. Veles and Makoшь think the diaries were taken by an accomplice of the Byzantine emperor, since the states are on the brink of war. But the diaries are lost in the world of people together with the thief.
Katya, along with Danyar—the girl’s guide and protector—sets out to search for the diaries to help her father. Yet the true enemy is far more frightening than the Byzantine king and the possible war between the states. In her new trial, she encounters one of the highest gods, equal in strength and power to Veles—Chernobog. He tells the girl things her parents never shared with her; he lures her with a family secret and a chance to learn the truth. However, Chernobog’s intentions are not noble: he wants to use Katya to get what he wants. Can she stand against such power? How can one find the truth in a tangled world of gods?
Evgeniya Kretova, winner of the national literary prize “Manuscript of the Year — 2018” and laureate of the LiveLib 2018 contest for children and young adult prose, presents the third part of the tetralogy “The Takers of the Throne” (“Verschiteli”). These books are about time travels, astonishing adventures, faraway journeys, and cultural artifacts—about which, thanks to the author, you will learn much more. Together with the heroes of the books, you will visit unique places in our country, see the incredible beauty of Russia’s nature, and immerse yourself in Slavic mythology.
