The world changed when the Darkness came. Magic spread across its lands, dark rock matured in its depths, and the Gift awakened in the chosen people. But some are the chosen ones, and some are the damned. A disfigured blacksmith dreams of cleansing the world from filth and makes bracelets that take away magic. A young man who was shackled in them throughout his childhood dreams of finding the creator of the bracelets. And the prince's son desperately wants to find himself, but so far he finds only adventures. One day he will have to choose between a rare treasure and the life of a witch with wondrous eyes. And the choice he makes will become fateful not only for himself, but also for the whole world. “Dark Breed” is the debut work that opens the cycle of the same name. A trilogy is planned. Editor's comment: The author creates a magnificent plot outline, which is distinguished by the velvety atmosphere of a dark world, elegant images and a story of beautiful love, which is stronger than any curse.
