"Shadows of Reality: Hour of the Ox." Book two of the “Shadows of Reality” duology. Yart is trying to get on the trail of his main enemy, because he does not believe that he died. Aluaya, meanwhile, weaves her own network, drawing in more than one can imagine. There are more and more losses and hardships, but this is not the end. Formerly a tarot reader who had previously forgotten his past, now Yart is losing the last drops of humanity, both in appearance and in his inner sense of self. It seems that the World itself decided to test its strength and break it. But Yart was broken more than once, so this will not stop him in his search, investigation, revenge and desire to achieve power. He's ready for anything. What are his enemies ready for? In the World - where everyone is an enemy to another, and if he considers himself a friend, is this temporary or only hiding some benefit? And the events move forward, the characters finally plunge into the abyss of moral and physical degradation on the way to finding... what? What motivates whom? Will anyone besides Yart think about this? And Yart himself... will he reflect or give in to his fall? Both worlds are on the brink of bloody changes and no one knows this, no one will stop the new rulers, perverted by their own past... Redemption can only be found in complete darkness...
