The first book in the “Ruler of the Void” series. The Supreme Gods have not been monitoring their children for a long time. They hide in the dark corners of this world and allow the peoples inhabiting it to choke on blood in a protracted war. In these troubled times, in the capital of the human state, Professor Soi Asharh meets the mysterious foreigner Lantea, which brings mortal danger upon himself and her. Having come under the suspicion of a punitive order, they are forced to make a risky deal with each other and escape from their pursuers into ruinous forests infested with terrible creatures. Now they have to together overcome a path full of trials to the secret city of sand magicians, where Lantea must get to at all costs, and Asharkh will have to trust his secretive companion despite his doubts and fears. Their journey will be long, and perhaps one day even the lost gods will turn their gaze to these two. Contains obscene language.
