They are here. They are close. Sometimes at arm's length. They're watching us. They are always at the start. Their hunger is insatiable. And only the fragile Barrier of Balance between the almost merged parallels holds back the hordes of otherworldly creatures. Alas, sometimes breakthroughs happen, and then the last barrier between people and monsters becomes teams of clairvoyants. Freshman Sergei Kapustin, accepted as a trainee into one of these teams, ends up in the service of the mysterious Master. He reveals the talent of the Adjuster - a rare Gift available to a few chaosists. And now the young trainee is forced to travel through reflections, recruiting lost souls in desperate situations for a reward.
