Favorite of the Era

Rodion was loved for his intelligence, beauty, and abilities. His brother Ilyusha was loved just for being himself. Rodion was expected to take action and be responsible. Ilyusha was wanted to be saved, fed, and caressed – even if he would leave without looking back in a minute. When the brothers were children, a terrible event occurred. Ilyusha was kidnapped and held for several days by a half-crazy neighbor, an old woman known as Epoch. Later, Ilyusha would be returned home, and life would go on as usual. But many years later, an incomprehensible connection with the mad old woman from childhood would reveal itself. And for the secret that time and fire could not bury, someone would have to pay with their life.
