About the book: year / If fate has chosen you as its toy and made you doubt the world order, you will have to either surrender to the mercy of providence, or fight with all your might for your own future. Kelan lives in a world where hedges guard houses and steam locomotives travel along mountain roads. Wizards and executioners rule here, and if, ironically, you are born a Shantiese, you will not be welcome anywhere. This cruel, twisted world safely keeps its secrets from prying eyes and ears. Bogdan, a distant descendant of earthlings, will arrive at a station located in one of the most remote sectors of space to investigate a tragic incident: the death of the crew and passengers of an unknown spaceship. He will have to face a number of inexplicable phenomena, events that will slowly but surely push him to take a step into the unknown. Two-faced Janus is ready to give answers to many questions. But will the seeker be able to ask them correctly??
