Maria Makeeva, a renowned journalist, editor-in-chief of two independent TV channels, and recipient of several journalism awards, is accustomed to dealing with news, with verified and precise stories. Perhaps that is why the phantasmagoria she created ‘shines through’ with realistic, recognizable allusions, allowing the reader to relate to the characters. In her book, which starts and unfolds in Latvia, you will encounter a man with bear ears, an all-consuming Black Cloud, an elegant devil, and a beautiful girl who can read minds and teleport. The protagonist faces a moral dilemma – he must either commit murder or die himself. His reflections on this matter are woven into a series of incredible events, the outcome of which could either destroy the world or save it.
