Jeris. A city of gold and blood, a city of skyscrapers and dirty dens, luxury and poverty, debauchery and crazy entertainment. A metropolis built on elven ruins and cursed with a curse so terrible that nothing is known about it except one thing - it is about to awaken... The city under which sleeps the most ancient - older than the roots of the world - Darkness. And the blood of people and elves is shed on the streets, the latest dwarven weapons are thundering, conspiracies and intrigues are woven. And all this threatens to break through like a hellish boil, clearing the way for true evil, against which the magic that came from the past and the steel armadas of modernity will be equally powerless... Police officers, special services, pop singers, and TV stars, businessmen, the most famous hired killer of the continent and adherents of forgotten sorcery ... Fate involved all of them in a whirlpool of bloody events... Is there still time to stop the inevitable, and how to do this if the inhabitants of the doomed city are not even aware of the impending threat?
