About the book: 2014 / The cards in Lady Fate’s deck are whimsically shuffled, changing the lives of people, nations and even entire universes. For thousands of years, there have been those who, wanting to secretly rule the worlds, coveted the cards of this deck. Cards that give Strength, Power and Power, the ability to destroy and create, possess and enjoy. Outwardly, card holders are no different from us, but different blood flows in their veins. Monsters, vampires and werewolves, necromancers and sorcerers. They call themselves Archons, masters of the Black Lodge. Marquis Henri de Lagnac became the unwitting owner of one of these cards and, by chance, found himself in the center of a struggle between the powerful Black Lodge and the mysterious White Lodge, which no one had heard of for many centuries. Now the life of the Marquis hangs in the balance, along with the fate of his home world, for which he has to fight. In this cruel game, he will put everything on the line, having no choice and not knowing the rules. He will be accompanied by his most loyal allies, and will be opposed by the most dangerous enemies. And who knows, perhaps to become a winner in this game, he will have to go down the darkest road?
