About the book: 2002 / Every year, residents of the city of Duvalpur, famous for its temples, carefully draw a new image of the Infinity Wheel, providing the Heavenly Empire with another year of peace and harmony. Once every century this ritual takes on greater significance: once every hundred years it is necessary to re-weave the very fabric of existence. The mystical energy of Infinity connects the Wheel and the universe together. And if the sacred image is damaged, then the Universe will suffer equally. But a black hurricane unfolds over the Wheel. Every night, the Voices of the Ancestors - the creators and guardians of the Wheel - remove the blackened pieces and restore the Wheel with the help of multi-colored sand and powerful magic. And every morning the black hurricane returns, bigger and blacker, destroying the beautiful and proportionate patterns. Along with the winds of chaos, a woman with a dark past returns to Duvalpur. Maskel is a murderer and traitor, exiled and covered in shame. She is hated and feared. She is tormented by her own conscience. She was called to save the world. She was once the most mysterious of all the Voices, until her actions cursed her. Now she must stop terrible foes - old and new - and a cold, invisible evil never seen before. Ryan, an experienced and dangerously attractive warrior, will help her along the way. If Maskel cannot find the cause of the accelerating destruction of the Wheel, if she does not turn away from the ghosts of the past to focus on the catastrophe, the world will plunge into the nightmarish abyss into which it is already beginning to tilt. And then everything past, present and future will disappear.
