The Poison of the Past

It is dangerous to disturb the past. Doing so when the Beacons do not burn is four times as dangerous. Yet, greedy and reckless souls disturb it, stir it up, awaken it in hopes of subjugating the present. But the past is treacherous; it can grant wings or pull one down to the depths. What submits to the strong and knowledgeable will surely destroy the ignorant, and if it were only them! Who can say what secrets old tombs hold and what sleeps in living blood until the time comes? Who knows how games with the past will turn out? And what about games with the law, with friendship, loyalty, love? Games with death? To break a promise, to pour poison into a friend’s glass, to forge evidence, to send assassins, to insult one woman, to push another away and lie, lie, lie… Of all the paths, the young king confidently chooses the meanest. He does not doubt success; he is in a hurry. In the cold winter darkness, the death awakened by fools and oath-breakers stirs. Who will it take? The continuation of the fantasy novel cycle by Vera Kamsha "Reflections of Eternity." The first novel became the literary source for the film adaptation "Eternity. Part One." "Reflections of Eternity" is called "the best example of historical fantasy in the entire post-Soviet space." In scale, the cycle can compete with the novels of Alexandre Dumas and Henryk Sienkiewicz.
