About the book: 2023 / In a harsh and deserted world, there are cruel rules of survival. All life is a hunt: either you eat, or they eat you. Ezhu must learn this truth from birth. As a member of the local tribe, he likes to be alone, thinking about the things around him while chasing prey. He even once saw how the clouds parted, revealing flickering to his gaze, after which the ezkh doubted the teachings of the Mentor. For his “whys” he became despised within the tribe. But one day someone in a white shell falls from the sky, tracing the life of Ezkh before and after with a smoky trail. Will he be able to recognize the one who fell from heaven and, with his help, change the foundations of the tribe, mastering the instincts of the beast? He should realize what is happening as quickly as possible, because the seemingly helpless guest triggers a large-scale chain of events stretching through the endless blackness, once accidentally seen by a native with one eye.
