In the Land of Fire, devastated by the army of a madman, there is no mercy, no mercy, monsters from Bosch’s paintings walk among people, and the dead do not want to die completely. The War of the Gods is approaching, in which death is not yet the most terrible fate, Vuko Drakkainen - an earthling, a scout, a warrior - understands that there is only one way to survive the coming cataclysm: to unravel the secret of Midgard. But first he needs to get out of a terrible, incomprehensible trap, and the price for freedom will be very high. And on the other side of the world, the prince of a destroyed state is trying to avenge his own family and people. Wandering through a country gripped by religious frenzy, he does not yet know that in search of retribution he will come to a place where he can lose much more than what he has already lost; to where the last rays of the sun go out. Into the very heart of darkness.
