Dreams. Kingdom come. The Astral. How connected are they? Is it possible to dive into a conscious dream and pave a path to those who are no longer with us? A far more troubling question is whether it is possible to go back alone.
But THEY will know...
The main character will have to find his own answers. Who is a friend and who is an enemy? Maxim has to wade through thorns to help his loved ones and try not to fall into the trap himself. He will be hunted by entities that he could not imagine. What's real and what's not? Face-to-face with the inexplicable, dangers, hard decisions, and trials at the limit. All this in the new visual horror novel Karpov!
