A new Winter is coming. The world, in the sky of which Obelisks soar, has already experienced many Winters. Some civilizations perish, others arise. And when the earth is not shaken by volcanic eruptions, people still hate those who are not like them. Deaf people contemptuously call those who are able to hear the earth and move mountains roggs. Who are they - the damned or the gods in chains, guarded by smiling and cruel Guardians?.. Issun, who has lost her son and daughter and is thirsty for revenge. Damaya, betrayed by her parents and given to the Guardians. Syenite, increasingly in control of her abilities...But there are tests that break even the gods. What will be the last straw that shakes the whole world to its core?
