Description
Set in 1970s Moscow, this fantastical novel follows Danilov, a gifted violist whose extraordinary musical talent—and mysterious origins—draw him into a reckoning with forces beyond the human world. An exiled demon living among mortals, he navigates passionate love affairs, artistic ambition, and the strange consequences his presence brings to those around him. Blending satire, psychological depth, and the supernatural, the story explores creativity, identity, desire, and the price of crossing the boundary between the divine, the demonic, and the human. It is an atmospheric, thought-provoking work of Russian fantasy in which music becomes both a gift and a source of peril.
