About the book: year / The Guild is mired in civil strife, and meanwhile a new threat looms on the horizon. The time shift gave birth to an entire city, Rephiaim, and bloodthirsty monsters who do not disdain either witches, the fallen, or ordinary mortals. Letitia is looking for Power, and she is ready to lay a lot on the sacrificial altar - perhaps even love. Shadren lies half-dead on a stone bed in the Dark City, teeming with strange creatures that have no place among people, and Lann has to face his past - and his present at the same time. None of them knows that the old world is living out its last days... and that the three of them are destined to hasten its death..
