In the center of Kyiv, a young man named Andron, an assistant to the owner of the nightclub and casino Shah, was killed. Then his friend Fish dies in a car accident. Around the same time, the unrecognized genius Illarion Gusarov, inspired by an unusual dream, wrote the novel “The Lilac Scent of the Night” about life in other galaxies. How are these events connected? Oddly enough, the “fault” for everything turns out to be the red-haired artist Ksenia, around whom strange and incomprehensible incidents revolve. Everyone who is somehow connected with her is under attack. And even Gusarov’s inspiration is not accidental. He has no idea that he is being “used” as a means to convey a love story to her. Each time she opens the book, she travels to other worlds, vaguely feeling her connection with them. The novel is published in a new edition. Previously, the novel was published under the title “Lilac Scent of the Night.”
