The Blind Conclave is soon to take place, where secret societies from all over the world will gather together—and only the occult detective Vladimir Korsakov can warn them of the danger threatening the world. But will he have enough strength to survive, since the flow of events carries him straight into the very heart of the darkness?
From a lake blazing with infernal light to the underground chambers of the Hermitage, where an Egyptian sarcophagus sheds bloody tears.
From misty St. Petersburg, his path leads to Venice, where he is accused of a crime he did not commit.
Curses rising, reanimated corpses, secret societies, and beings that feed on belief itself…
To find out who stands behind all these events, Korsakov will have to face his fears again—otherwise he risks being lost forever among the terrifying carnival masks. The closer he gets to the solution, the more clearly he hears the whisper of those who are waiting for their moment.
