Synopsis
In the fifth entry in the series, Anton Gorodetsky crosses paths at an airport with a small boy named Kesha who is on the verge of uttering a true prophecy, a rare and perilous gift among Others. Before the boy can be silenced, Anton secretly records his words, and the recording marks him as a target of the Tiger, an entity native to the Twilight whose sole purpose is hunting down prophets before their pronouncements can be completed, an encounter that leaves its victims stripped of feeling and indifferent to the world around them, a fate Anton must now find a way to escape.
