Novoproskurov is a city of derelict factories, freezing rain, and eternal industrial smog. Eighteen-year-old David Dolya never looked for adventure; he just wanted to find peace among his flowers. But one accidental discovery changes everything. A white wooden mask that takes root in his very soul. The voice of an ancient curse named Zgar, whispering from the darkness. Now, David is no longer just a boy from the suburbs. He is Grom—the only being capable of standing against the monsters that have haunted the shadows of industrial districts for centuries. But power comes with a price. As mysterious Hunters pick up his trail and monsters catch the scent of a "sweet candy," David is left with a single choice: surrender to the darkness within or burn in its blue flame. In a world where the night belongs to predators, can one boy save the world?
