About the book: 2013 / The world of young Sebastian is very clear and uncomplicated: here, nearby is his native fishing town, there, a little further, is Seymour, where with a firm hand ruled by a just ruler, the Duke of Cornell. Well, somewhere far away, behind the mythical Pillars of Melcuinn, lies the monstrous Black Tocopilla - the ancestral home of evil, where the brothers of the Ramonikeya order hatch their plans. But the truth turns out to be not so black and white. Especially when Sebastian learns that many years ago the wise ruler of Cornell, then simply called Captain Brennan, brought from those very unknown lands, from the very heart of Tocopilla, a certain Gift of the Pool, which cost the lives of his entire team. The young man does not yet know that he will have to follow the trail of the lost expedition. He does not know that he is destined to turn gray after seeing with his own eyes the Pillars of Melcuinn, and then learning what evil the Gift of the Pensieve contained. Yes and EVIL?..
