“When you look into the abyss, the abyss looks into you.” If you dare to play magic, magic can easily play you like a bargaining pawn. And then an innocent “role-playing game” based on “The Lord of the Rings” will turn into a bloody nightmare, a fall into the abyss, and a merciless war of the worlds. Because real elves are not at all like those beautiful creatures that Tolkien sang - for real elves, who imagine themselves to be a superior race and boast of their own birthright, human life is not worth a penny, for them we are inferior creatures who should be exterminated without mercy no women, no children. And gnomes and orcs are even worse than elves... A new novel from the author of the best-selling book “The Hidden People of the Caribbean”! Our man in the world of cruel magic. People against the “elder races”, swords against witchcraft, love against the hellish abyss! In this merciless game of life and death, where all means are fair, blood is cheaper than water and genocide has long become a habit, there is only one rule: a passed pawn becomes a queen!
