City of Shadows... This concept has become almost a household word for fantasy. Who hasn’t written about him! My turn has come to put together what was created over the years - sometimes as a children's fairy tale, sometimes as a heroic tale, sometimes as an intensely social fantasy... Three fairy tales are united by a common setting, but for each this City is its own, different. Because different people see it in their own way, differently. Therefore, it is so changeable, so different for each Hero, that there cannot be two identical Cities of Shadows! As well as a single way to unravel their secrets, and overcome their Traps and Temptations. A magical fairy tale about a capricious princess is just a fairy tale. Eastern.
