A World of Gaps. Another City

Towering skyscrapers, historic mansions, majestic airships—this is the Red City. Under the new emperor, the former capital flourishes day by day and teems with life. Here, Artem finds what he has long sought: a job in a laboratory, safety, and, most importantly, recognition. He becomes the ruler’s closest confidant and works to unravel the mystery of the Rifts. However, Kaya does not share Artem’s enthusiasm. Accustomed to the vastness of the forest, she feels trapped in the city. Moreover, the laboratory’s locked basements, which conceal an unknown threat, haunt her. But how can she uncover the truth when even her only friend is no longer on her side? There will never be any magic for those who do not believe in it. What is magic? Nothing more than the embodiment of people’s belief that it will work. They say that to create something significant, you must know how to read people and trust no one, don’t they? Undoubtedly. But it is no less important to know when someone can be trusted.
