Far away in the east of England, the land of lakes and reeds of Ramborough is lost. There was once a city here, but now nothing remains but the ruins of the abbey and the decayed bones of those who once built it. Joanna Heyst, a bastard with a heightened sense of self-worth, has lived here for as long as she can remember. Walks in the shade of Scottish firs, storms the ruins of a tower, destroys bird nests. And everything would have been fine if it weren’t for the evil aunt who crushed the girl under her raven wing. Joanna is haunted by the mystery of her origin, and also by the annoying advances of Mr. Rock, a gloomy neighbor from Moor Farm. In these sunny July days, Joanna is increasingly thinking about escape. The next volume of “Masters of Adventure” includes an action-packed novel by G.R. Haggard's "Shadowland", published in Russian for the first time.
