The third book in the “Nav” cycle.
A journey into the world of the dead does not pass without leaving a mark on the living: Sergei is tormented by nightmares, and in everyone he meets he sees the inhabitants of Nav—clearly not wanting him well.

Sergei realizes this the moment he crosses the threshold of his own home and suddenly finds himself in a place he least wants to return to. In Nav he meets a little girl: the witch chose her body in place of the one lost, and threw away her native soul as something unnecessary.
