The roads converge, the darkness dissipates, the contours of a grandiose conspiracy woven by an evil genius appear in the fog. In search of the mysterious Puppeteer, Mark travels to the southern islands, where the local sea prince is hatching his plans for the Kingdom of Amarchthon. A meeting with his worst enemy is approaching, but for Mark it is only a prelude to unraveling the terrible secret of the Mirror of Mist, into which he, contrary to the voice of reason, will have to look in order to find out the terrifying truth about himself. And the legions of the Fallen One and the red priests, thirsty, are approaching Amarchton to build your Empire-on-Blood, the ring of doom around the great city is tightening. Queen Silvira faces her last battle - not only with the dark legions, but above all - in her own heart. The moment of truth comes when masks are torn off, aspirations hidden from oneself are revealed and the darkest corners of the incomprehensible human soul are illuminated.

The novel is written at the intersection of allegorical fantasy and psychological prose: the monsters here correspond to certain human feelings, moods and beliefs , and combat magic and swordsmanship stem from the unknown and sometimes unpredictable elements of the human soul.
