In the sacred city of Tova waiting for the winter solstice holiday. This time it should be accompanied by an eclipse - a rare phenomenon that upsets the balance of the world. Taking advantage of this, the oppressed clan of Black Crows, who suffered from the cruelty of the priests, decides to take revenge. The Black Crows are waiting for their reborn Raven God, promised by prophecy, and a revolution is brewing in the heavenly tower of the priests. On the ship, led through the storm by a teak woman, whose Song calms the sea and captivates the mind, the only passenger sails to Tova - a blind young man covered with ritual scars. “A brilliant world that shows all the splendor of human mercy and depravity.
