Shadows in Dark Corners. A Storm Over the Rooftops

The Kingdom of Arelaat. An amazing world, so similar to medieval Europe. A world where the cruel wars have temporarily subsided, heretics are burned less frequently, and magic seems to have remained only in fairy tales and children's nightmares. Peaceful times have come to Arelaat, but beneath the external serenity lie intrigues, vices, and dark secrets.
The main characters, a group of boys, live their ordinary lives - falling in love, fighting, trying to earn some extra money - but suddenly, Ancient Evil appears on the familiar streets from their childhood. With a mysterious find in the ruins of an old fortress and new mysterious neighbors, black sorcery inexorably creeps into the quiet outskirts. The heroes face a choice: turn to adults in the hope that they will believe their "tales," report everything to the inquisition without any solid evidence, or take a stand against the shadows that live in dark corners…
This is the first book of a new thrilling cycle in the "dark fantasy" genre by the renowned master Alexander Bushkov! An amazing blend of Mark Twain, Stephen King, Robert McCammon, Marjorie Rollins, and Vladislav Krapivin. A book that will leave no reader indifferent.
