The first book in the trilogy “Light, Dark and the Other Maya” In the distant Russian outback, a strange beautiful girl Maya lives with her grandmother. Since childhood, various inexplicable things have happened to her, frightening her. Growing up, she begins to notice the manifestation of abnormal supernatural abilities - to see and heal diseases of people and animals, as well as to control the circumstances of other people's lives. Only she can decide how to use her gift - use it for good or turn it into a weapon of revenge. Various rumors are not long in coming, including accusations of all the troubles that befell the inhabitants of her city. Not finding understanding in her hometown, she decides to leave it in the hope that, lost in a big metropolis, she will cease to be so noticeable. Having learned about Maya’s powerful gift, the witches of the “Dark Order” are trying to recruit her into their ranks. A slightly naive girl who believes in justice, treacherous fate has destined her to experience a lot of evil and injustice, and she does not always manage to control the desire to use her secret “weapon,” which she vowed not to use against people, having secured the patronage of the Light Magicians. Will strong love be able to soften Maya's vengeful nature?
