About the book: 2009 / The thirst for war and the thirst for power are the main forces that determine all life, the entire way of the Empire. The Empire is the center of the Ancient World, its heart. The so-called Sea, the end of the world, had been creeping up on the Ancient World for a long time - and now it poured into the vastness of the Empire in order to wipe out all its inhabitants from the face of the earth. But these inhabitants - people, animals, demons - do not at all want to give up and take the fight to the terrible eyeless army , because they are used to battles, because battles are what the Empire has lived and breathed from time immemorial.
