In former times, fairy tale characters were real and mortal men met them almost every day. I have traveled extensively, collecting legends, rumors, and even outright tall tales about Maras and Moroks. Once I came across the story of a Mara who lived about three hundred years before the disappearance of all the attendants of the Death goddess. Her real name was deliberately hidden, and I am sure this story turned out special because the girl's family failed to follow the main rule – to leave their homeland. Malachi Zotov This is the long-awaited prequel to the dilogy "Mara and Morok." New heroes, new adventures, new love. Expansion of the worlds of Araken and Serat, immersion into legends, meetings with gods. The epilogue will unite past and future and remain in your heart forever.
