What happens when magic returns to a kingdom torn apart by war?
The Aranesian assassination has plunged the kingdom into war. An unscrupulous enemy, an inexperienced young king, a shaken Citadel, betrayal at every turn, intrigue, and bloody magic sow chaos and destruction throughout the land. Vlad, however, was born for such a game. But Dorian and Serena are buried under the ruins of their destroyed lives. And not everything can be rebuilt.
After the bloody events at the Sea Gate, Erik, Deva, and Lili are on the run again. But the ghosts of the dead are not the only things walking in their shadow on the path to their longed-for refuge.
The tormented Solomon has lost the will to live. But as long as the last spark of sanity does not die, hope still smoulders. Is there anything left to fan that little spark?
Relka and Binuta are haunted by their distant past. Caught in the cogs of obligations, prophecies, and doubts, they face a task they both fear. But escaping the echoes of their own footsteps, in which history has always been reflected, is not easy.
The Hunters try to heal the horrors of the killing and the returning magic. But how to distinguish the disease from the cure? And in a world where even the wisest lose battles with internal conflicts, how to find the right answers?
Fantasy on a European scale.
— Fantasy sci-fi svět
Pure fantasy. And you will be surprised how well-written and thought-out it is, and how much you fear for its non-black-and-white heroes and root for them.
— Pevnost on the novel When the Stars Fell
The series introduces readers to a rich world full of demons, pirates, and Hunters, and presents a mosaic of the fates of different heroes whose life paths cross, diverge, and influence each other. Just like all great sagas, Kucina's books demand the reader's full attention. However, patient readers will be rewarded with a colourful story that lacks neither epic scope nor a touch of grandeur.
