All over Aratta, signs of the destruction of the world are multiplying. It's time to ask yourself: why did you live? Where did you strive and what did you achieve? What can’t you change, and most importantly, what else can you do? “You fly through other people’s destinies like a poisoned arrow,” they said about the spy Yandi. One day she begins to wonder who shot this arrow and why. Convinced of her divinity, Princess Ayuna realizes that her loved ones pay for her over and over again and it is not happiness that she brings to people, but grief and turmoil. But she will find someone with whom her life will find real meaning. Shiram, the ruler of the Nakhs, is sure that he knows better what his people need. However, people think differently. When the gods fall silent, will opposes will and brother goes against brother. What can stop the war? Winter sacrifice is the price to pay for life, it should not be in vain... The “Aratta” cycle is the first collaboration between the creator of the famous series about the Wolfhound, Maria Semyonova, and the talented St. Petersburg writer Anna Gurova, author of the book series “Prince of Silence”, “Lunar” warrior", "Book of Fire" and other popular works of the fantasy genre.
