About the book: 2007 / For the first time in Russian, Pat Hodgill’s magnificent saga about the eternal war of Kencyrath. An amazing example of the dark fantasy genre. For thirty millennia, Kencyrath has been at war with an entity called the Dark Threshold, the personification of primeval evil. This war consists of bloody unequal battles, ending with the retreat of the Kencyrath from world to world along the chain of Creations. All this time, only strict adherence to the code of honor allowed the kencyrs to maintain unity. But three thousand years ago, this nation of warriors was almost destroyed - Geridon, the High Lord of Kencyrat, in exchange for personal immortality, gave the souls of thousands of his fellow tribesmen to the Dark Threshold. The kencyrs who escaped this fate were able to flee to Ratillen, a world that became their last refuge, constantly attacked by the Darkness. Jame, one of the few remaining kencyrs, comes from the Lost Lands to the city of Tai-Testigon. Not on good terms with her own memory, pursued by the creatures of Darkness, exhausted by many days of flight and the terrible burden of her father's curse, Jame enters the insane labyrinth of Tai-Testigon, celebrating the night of the Ball of the Dead Gods...
