The demon of flattery is betrayed
14.99 €
Is touching the darkness, hearing its whispers—a gift or a curse? Alexei Arakcheev would confidently answer: a curse. After all, from early childhood, he has seen demons—creatures from the underbelly of the world, clinging to those who have little time left, or those whose thoughts are as black as night. And not only does he see them, but he also serves as a vessel for such creatures.
In an attempt to find answers and come to terms with himself, Alexei enters the service of Tsarevich Paul, dedicating his life to protecting the imperial family and the Fatherland.
Alas, the secrets of the Romanovs are terrifying, and Arakcheev's only friend, heir to the throne Alexander, is haunted by a mysterious Shadow, a harbinger of the capital's doom.
A political thriller set in the dark, demonic St. Petersburg of the 18th century. The twilight of Catherine the Great's reign, palace intrigues, and a mysterious underbelly that holds a terrible secret.
Alexey Arakcheyev is a historical figure with a less-than-stellar reputation. The reader is presented with the author's interpretation of his life within a fantasy world. From an early age, Alexey sees demons, learns to fight them, and survive in a dangerous world of conspiracies.
The magical system is built on the connection between the Light Ones, who wield purifying fire, and the Dark Ones, who consume demons.
The novel explores themes of growing up, finding family, friendship, and loyalty.
This novel will appeal to fans of the magic and atmosphere of Leigh Bardugo's "Shadow and Bone," Robin Hobb's "The Assassin's Apprentice," and Viktor Dashkevich's "Count Averin."
