About the book: 2022 / Gautier's whole life was a lie, which he is now not going to put up with. Jerome is no longer willing to stay in the shadows and go with the flow. And only Scariel still calmly pursues his goals, goes over their heads, sweeping away everything in his path. Purebloods, half-bloods and low-bloods became too crowded in Octavia. Big changes are coming. The Renaissance is coming. A class society with a clear division into three castes, where the lower ones have no rights - through the eyes of a young member of the privileged class. The novel is full of cultural references. A two-level narrative told from the perspective of two characters, neither of whom knows the whole truth about the mysterious and charming Scariel Lowe.
