The beginning of the 15th century...Venice is at the peak of its power. Formally, the ruler of the city is Duke Marco, but due to his dementia, the reins of power are in the hands of his relatives. For Serenissima, their word is law, but the fate of Venice is still in other hands... Lady Juliet is the Duke's cousin. She enjoys privileges that many cannot even dream of, but for them Juliet will have to pay a terrible price...Atilo il Mauros - the head of the Assassins, a secret army that carries out the will of Venice both in the state itself and beyond its borders...Prince Leopold - the illegitimate son of the German emperor and the leader of the Kriegshunds - the only force that is feared in Venice more than the murderers of Atilo... And finally, Tico - Atilo's student with the face of an angel. While still a child, Tico is already stronger and faster than any man. He can see in the dark, but the sunlight burns him. Rumor has it that Tiko drinks blood...For the first time in Russian!
