The third book about Barsik. Barsik's life has once again taken a sharp turn. The former hint of stability has disappeared into the abyss. The clan was virtually destroyed. There are slums and the unknown ahead again. And everything would be fine. Anyone coming from these very slums is no stranger to this. However, not everything is so smooth here either. Huge crowds of creatures, sensing blood, crawled out of the sewers and turned everything around into a local branch of hell. And behind them the smoke of the fire rises, which for the time being is restrained by the invaders. And it won't last long. The shaft of fire is ready to be let off the leash.
