About the book: 2009 / What could be better than belonging to an ancient and very influential family? Nothing. What if this family is cursed by the gods? If battles with vampires and ghouls, werewolves and ogres, spirits and demons await you at every step? What if mortal danger lurks around every corner? Will your high-bornness help you? If you are Gartosh from the Oskol family, then yes. Gartosh, despite his youth, often turns from a victim, from prey, into a hunter. And woe to those forces that try to stand in his way! And the reward for everything is the love of the most beautiful creatures in the world of Iktiv - dryads and sirens.
