Alexey Rostovtsev is young and handsome. He loves women, and he also loves to get everything he wants from life. Therefore, when innocent Anna does not reciprocate his feelings, he commits a crime - and takes her by force. The girl cannot cope with this pain and decides to commit suicide. Alexei’s life continues to take its course and he has no idea how soon the former victim will turn into a ruthless hunter, because death is too fragile a barrier for someone who wants revenge. Editor’s comment: No words ! There is so much I want to say about this amazing work - and there are no correct verbs that could adequately describe all its brilliance. The young author's uncompromising talent makes this work truly exceptional, turning the book into a paradoxical diamond. Maria Petrenko’s mystical novel has virtually no analogues in today’s literature, and therefore those who are the first to touch this dazzling masterpiece can rightfully call themselves truly lucky. The final chords of “Golden Darkness” shower the unsuspecting reader with an icy wave, forcing him to interrupt reading in bewilderment and horror, exhale bitterly, and then take up the prose again.
