A thousand miles east of Mirgorod, the great capital city of the
Vlast, deep in the ancient forest, lies the most recent fallen
angel, its vast stone form half-buried and fused into the rock by
the violence of impact. As its dark energy leeches into the crash
site, so a circle of death expands around it, slowly - inexorably -
killing everything it touches. Alone in the wilderness, it reaches
out with its mind. The endless forest and its antique folk lore are
no concern to Inspector Vissarion Lom, summoned to the capital in
order to catch a terrorist - and ordered to report directly to the
head of the secret police. A totalitarian state, worn down by an
endless war, must be seen to crush home-grown terrorism with an
iron fist. But Lom discovers Mirgorod to be more corrupted than he
imagined: a murky world of secret police and revolutionaries,
cabaret clubs and doomed artists. Lom has been chosen because he is
an outsider, not involved in the struggle for power within the
party. And because of the sliver of angel stone implanted in his
head at the children's home. Lom's investigation reveals a
conspiracy that extends to the top echelons of the party. When he
exposes who - or rather what - is the controlling intelligence
behind this, it is time for the detective to change sides. Pursued
by rogue police agents and their man-crushing mudjhik, Lom must
protect Kantor's step-daughter Maroussia, who has discovered what
is hidden beneath police headquarters: a secret so ancient that
only the forest remembers. As they try to escape the capital and
flee down river, elemental forces are gathering. The earth itself
is on the move.
