The fifth installment of the Struggle saga. Metropolitan Guzokh, who has declared himself Pope of Arkhan, forms a new wing of the church, eclipsing the majesty of the patriarchate of Nevrokh. Within his shadowy retinue, a cult of belief in the omnipotence of the Black Stone and an all-consuming thirst for mastery over other minds flourishes. Gora, with the help of Cobra, expands his power into two key sectors of the Ekaterinoslav-Kremenchug faction. But a failed assassination attempt on him seems to inflict an indelible wound on his psyche and his understanding of freedom itself. While "Detachment-14" heats up with new strife, Bolotnikov, gathering his Maquis detachment, appeals to those who are ready to shed their blood for the right to live freely. Power, betrayal and revenge take new, unexpected forms. Each character balances their ideals and reality on a knife blade. Witness this epic saga, where even in the darkest corners a light can shine.
