The Shapers. Book 4. The Sword of Tamerlane

After the disappearance of Goreslava, Katya returns to Krasnoyarsk, where until she comes of age she lives under the supervision of Dr. Raul Moiseevich. The girl finishes school and enters college, and all she wants is an ordinary life—one in which she won’t have to practice magic or communicate with her father. Meanwhile, chaos enters the world—in the form of wars, diseases, and earthquakes. Each time the people at the scene see a mysterious woman dressed in black: she appears out of nowhere and vanishes into nowhere. Katya realizes that Goreslava may be behind this, and if she can find her sister, perhaps she’ll be able to stop the disasters. Flavius and Temnovit also search for Goreslava—one wants to become the master of all misfortune, the other wants to conquer the human world. Katya discovers Goreslava’s trail in the Caucasus. Together with the Guide, she sets off secretly on a dangerous journey. They will have to visit an abandoned village, taken prisoner by djinns, meet the Mother of All Misfortunes—Rohdulai—and fight the terrifying riders of the Apocalypse! Will the heroes be able to stop Temnovit, find Goreslava, and save the world from destruction?
