The Sphere of Fate

They say it's better not to argue with fate. They say fate is like a giant ball, relentless and blind. They say if you step aside from its path, you can survive. Instead of you, it will sweep away others — fate is relentless and incomprehensible, especially at the Fracture of Eras, when the last beacons go out and dejected sages throw up their hands.
Only a cat will still be a cat in the dark, a horse a horse, and a person a person, unless they become a beast, which is so easy. Offended love and offended pride, a broken heart and shattered hopes give rise to monsters, so guess what will kill more surely — a lie or the truth, and who will lend a shoulder — an old friend, a hereditary enemy, or a worthless dandy?
And the Sphere rolls faster and there's no time for reflection anymore — it's time to act. To subdue a horse, to subdue a woman, to subdue an army… To subdue fate. Who will succeed and will anyone? Not to lose when victory is impossible. Not to win when losing is impossible… They say it's better not to argue with fate… But what if we try? It couldn’t possibly get worse.

The novel "The Sphere of Fate" concludes the second trilogy of the series "Reflections of Eternity" — the trilogy of the Cliffs.
The continuation of the fantasy novel series 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 across the entire post-Soviet space." In terms of scale, this series can compete with the novels of Alexandre Dumas and Henryk Sienkiewicz.
