About the book: year / Few people risk going beyond the strong walls of fortified cities or leaving remote farms hidden in forests and mountains. Here, in the outside world, on the ruins of ancient cities destroyed by the War, it is too dangerous. The chance of dying from some disease, hunger or due to the vicissitudes of the weather is too great. Or, what is most frightening, from the claws of terrible creatures. But not everyone who managed to survive that War agrees to eke out a miserable existence behind high fortress walls. For some desperate people, the thirst for profit, the desire to find at least something else truly valuable, created in those days when the streets of these destroyed cities were still in full swing with life, is too great.
