About the book: 2006 / The wind walks through the world of Khara, covering the past with the sand of lies. No one remembers what was once considered true - it has long been consigned to oblivion, and to find out about it, one must catch the wind by the tail. But what should you do if it turns into bitter wormwood? Will you need the truth that you so longed for? Ness, Laen and Shen are fleeing from the hurricane of war flying in their wake, but a thunderstorm awaits ahead, and there is no salvation from it for either people or the Damned. Because it blows over the plains of Rude, extinguishing the crimson steppe sparks, the cruel wind of wormwood.
