About the book: 2011 / A long time ago, the sky over a small town was already lit up by bonfires on which young and beautiful girls died. The villain-arsonist was found and destroyed. At that time it seemed like forever. But now Anna is troubled by terrible dreams in which she herself is burning at the stake, and the girl wakes up, feeling pain in her burnt legs. Behind her is a black shadow - a ghost from which she cannot escape. Anya doesn’t yet know that she has become a bargaining chip in other people’s games, where love is mixed with hatred, and the struggle is for eternal life, which the ashes of the fairy-tale phoenix bird can give.
