Twice Seems to Turn Out

Moscow, the anxious autumn of 1993. Twelve-year-old Marta Vesnova returns home after incredible adventures in Crimea. She tries to live a normal life, but thoughts of her lost twin keep her restless. Meanwhile, Tsabran, her brother, is also heading to Moscow, but not of his own free will: he has become a prisoner of a recent friend. Ifrit, born from pure smokeless flame, cherishes a long-held dream, and his "friendship" with Marta and Tsabran turns out to be just part of a cunning plan. Who will help the twins? Friends from table tennis? Their own grandmother? Or forces that the heroes do not suspect? The second part of the duology "Twice Seems to Turn Out" is dedicated to the Moscow of the 90s and its fairy-tale counterpart - Moscovy. By the end of the book, the reader will learn how events from that side led to the shelling of the White House on this side. And Marta and Tsabran will have to confront the being that once separated them and uncover the mystery of their birth. But will they be able to reunite with their parents and live in our world?
