About the book: 2023 / Gorny, who had recently suffered under the yoke of the Templars, found himself in the face of a danger that was impossible to even imagine. When the heresiarch Azar decided to rid the world of the religion that was corrupting it by creating a new god from a simple bat, he knew that there were many “buts” and “ifs” in his plan. And yet the consequences of the decision were unexpected. A “gap” formed in the fabric of reality, and the Intercessor Bat, who was supposed to stop the cataclysm-related catastrophe, got out of the control of Lugin Zaozerny. A man-made deity threatens to punish humanity. His cry sounds like an alarm bell: “I will repay!” - and evil spirits from all over the world flock to his banner. There are no more Chud magicians, and there is no one to restrain the “gap” formed as a result of witchcraft. Meanwhile, the anomaly begins to change the structure of Gorny. The “gap” itself threatens to “devour” the whole world. And the heroes have less and less time to deal with two troubles that have fallen at once. If they don't make it in time, a third force will intervene. And then everyone loses.
