Peter Gordeev meets the girl of his dreams on the shore of the lake - Eva is smart, beautiful, sensual. Soon they get married. The loving couple are happy, but Eva is tormented by the same nightmare: she is sailing on a boat to the middle of the lake to... drown herself. But it’s not just the young woman’s dreams and mood swings that darken their lives. Peter is worried about the lack of relatives she has, with the exception of the mysterious uncle, about whom Eva talks a lot, but no one has ever seen him. Gordeev gradually becomes convinced that his long-awaited happiness is an illusion, a cruel deception. The beautiful wife has a secret life, where she is not going to let him in under any pretext... Writer Arkady Arno works in almost all literary genres: historical novel, detective story, adventure novel, adventurous love story, psychological, fantasy, thriller, biography of famous historical figures, presented in the language of fiction, and even a hoax novel. If he takes on a historical novel, he can easily send his reader to any era - be it antiquity, the early or late Middle Ages, modern times or the 19th century. And if it is a detective story, fantasy or mysticism, then the author is looking for unpredictable plots and solutions, but at the forefront is always the confrontation between good and evil, the struggle of a hero in shining armor and an evil genius, and, of course, the love of a man and a woman, without which there is no world would not exist.
