About the book: year / How long can you wander through cities and forests, without having either a permanent roof over your head or a faithful piece of bread? And so the minstrel woman Essie Daven, nicknamed Little Eye, decides to get married. For a respected person, the head of a guild in a seaside city. Her old friend Buttercup is invited to sing at the wedding, and the once militant elf Toruviel is in the same city waiting for the last ship to the elven country... None of them know that a dark shadow has already hung over the city and a calm life is counting down its last hours and minutes.
