About the book: 2008 / According to an ancient prophecy, if the Primordial Gods find a way to return to the world they created, it will collapse under the weight of their power. Trying to prevent a catastrophe, the Order of High Magic has been continuously searching for and destroying anyone who could become a participant in the prophecy for more than a thousand years. The vampire and black magician L'erth does not know that the attempts on his life, planned by the Heads of the Orders, are connected with the ancient prophecy. He lives only to collect an ancient artifact - and to return his beloved, who died many centuries ago. His heart is buried under a layer of ice. His soul had long ago been lost in impenetrable darkness. He is almost ideal for the role of assistant to the great goddess of Darkness. All he has to do is simply agree - and he will gain transcendental powers and capabilities. Is a blood-red star - the left eye of the dragon - destined to light up in the night sky??
