About the book: 2001 / Far in the distance stands, raising its peaked roofs to the sky, the High House of Evenmer. A beautiful and scary house. A house where only those who come for a reason come... But there is another House somewhere - the Black House of pain, fear and grief. The house owned by the Man in Black, who knows neither pity nor kindness. The house where the girl whose heart was stolen lives. A girl who, day after day, grows black thorns in the garden of the Black House and reads the saddest book in the world. A girl who knows only one thing - BE LONELY AND UNHAPPY. And with every hour, with every minute, her loneliness and misfortune in the Black House changes the reality of the High House. For Grief and Pain are Evil - and the power of this Evil, like a dark, icy fog, closes over Evenmer. Just a little more - and the High House will irrevocably turn into a DECEPTIVE HOUSE...
