About the book: a year / Six months have passed since the brutal murder of Archbishop William de Laurent in Davillon. The church appointed a new bishop in the city, but also expressed dissatisfaction with the death of his predecessor. Davillon's economy suffers from the oppression of the Church. Many residents turned away from the Church, choosing personal ministry or independent churches. And the bishop is angry with the people of Davillon and wants to deal with them. But a supernatural threat walks the streets at night, falling into the lower strata of the population. Because of all this, local representatives of the Church cannot do anything, and the guards have enough to worry about. And then there is Widdershins, who tried to stay out of trouble by taking over Genevieve's tavern, but both the Church and the guards know her and do not trust her. Perhaps she and her acquaintances from the thieves guild will play a role in the bishop’s plans, although not of their own free will. Maybe only she and Olgun can stop the supernatural threat in Davillion.
