ABSTRACT.Andrey Voronov is the eldest son of Savely, a famous crime boss nicknamed Black Raven. Andrei returns from New York, where he spent thirteen long years while his father built his empire on blood and bones. But these are not all the monstrous secrets that Savely Voronov hides. Andrey cannot even imagine what a vile swamp of lies and dirt he will get stuck in when he sets foot on his native land, where his close surroundings remind him of snakes. ATTENTION. WARNING: Cruelty, not just cruelty, but real cruelty throughout the story as a whole. Not heroes over heroines (although this is present, and those who have read LZG will understand what I mean). We do not want to offend anyone's feelings and therefore we warn about the naturalism of some scenes, which may be shocking, and we advise the faint of heart not to read. The novel will contain scenes of physical, sexual and psychological violence, and the murder of some of the characters (not the main ones, but still important). Explicit sex scenes, obscene language, prison slang. We warned. But we also promise you emotions. On the edge, on the tip of the blade, to the point of trembling and tears. We know you love it as much as we do. Buckle up? Let's go.

And now about the novel: Vile betrayals, lies, dirt, lust and debauchery, base instincts, bloody murders and naked, bestial cruelty. The world of crime is not nearly as romantic as it is often shown. A novel without censorship or sentimentality. All vices are exposed like abscesses, the whole underside of human nature is turned out. There are no good and bad. No one is perfect and everyone has their own secrets, goals, and ambitions. But in all parts of the series there will be love: at times unearthly and beautiful, at times sick and perverted, at times forbidden and shocking, but still love.
