The empire is crumbling, cities are on fire, and against this backdrop of bloody events appears a hero who can quell the chaos. Mikhail continues along his path of evolution, where each new dominant is a step toward power, but also a step closer to the abyss of insanity.

In this book, our hero's past catches up with him: his enemies are stronger, his allies are unpredictable, and his experiments with dominants lead to terrifying mutations. Some see Mikhail as a monster, others as their great hope. But he knows just one thing: the world will never be the same again, and his name will go down in history.
