"A doctor who breaks his oaths cannot save. An aspiring lawyer cannot find his place in the world. And a loving daughter does not avoid other people's prejudices. Locked inside their own prisons, they are unable to see anything beyond their own nose, considered blind fools. But which of them are they really blind?" William Bell is dead. His familiar world is trampled, his faith is trampled, and eternal life seems like a curse. Especially when you are always pushed around by others. Alexander Cuervo is confident that he knows everything. But every memory he has is a lie. Eileen Mackenzie hides behind masks, trying to find herself in them, and wonders who she really is: Harlequin or Columbine. The ancient order hides even from the shadow of its younger brother and cherishes hopes of revenge by plunging the world into primordial darkness. The universe crunches with old scars, ready to explode. Betrayed friends who keep other people's secrets may turn out to be allies. And time, rapidly slipping from the hands of a heartless hunter, decides who will emerge victorious from this game.
