The story recounts the adventures of German soldier Heinrich Augsburg in the afterlife. Tormented by guilt first for betraying the ideals he serves, and then for betraying his beloved, he perishes on the Eastern Front. Receiving a bullet to the forehead, Heinrich finds himself in Resurrection, a planet where our familiar world is reflected in the distorted mirror of decadence. Time flows backwards there, fiery seas rage where the earthly continents once were, high technology serves obscurantism, and each person is incarnated into some form of evil depending on the nature of their deeds in earthly life. By chance, the protagonist avoids immediate death at the hands of zombie marauders who welcome the resurrected soldiers of all eras. Heinrich undergoes training on the dark side of the Moon, pledges allegiance to the Lords of Infinity, and thus joins the ranks of vampire knights. They are the elite of Resurrection.
In this Dante-like purgatory, descendants and ancestors, hunters and victims, ordinary people and historical figures sometimes change roles. There are no innocents here; Resurrection, like a cauldron, boils with wars and political conspiracies against the backdrop of the unending enmity between the Gods of Limbo and the Lords of Infinity. Moreover, a significant cataclysm approaches - the Great Cosmic Tide.
The knot of duty, guilt, love, friendship, and betrayal tightens ever more…
