About the book: 2022 / A series of terrible oddities in Tilda’s life begins in the shadow theater "Viva Umbra": the performance, similar to a nightmare, ends in panic among the audience, then the girl thinks that her younger brother was turned into a spider; one of her friends shows signs of being possessed by an exotic demon; the other falls into hysterics for a reason that only she understands. Tilda soon learns that the devilry comes from a trading house on Chernavinsky Prospekt, where goods with hidden magical properties are sold, and the business owners are rumored to be members of an occult organization that has spread throughout the world and has a centuries-old history. Having become a pawn in a game of villains, Tilda is forced to go to a mystical island that chooses its guests. Will she be able to accomplish her plans to get out of this game without losses? This is the second book in the “Likhomorye” series, where the story that began in the first book receives a new development. Can be read separately.
