The finalist of the Hugo Prize.

Nominee of the Academy of NF, Fantasy and Horror.
This world is divided into bright and dark sides, in one of which eternal day and science reign, and on the other - night and witchcraft. But there are also twilight lands, the birthplace of the legendary elusive thief Jack from the shadows. They say that it is from the shadows that he draws his magical power. They say he has several lives, but there is no soul. They say that he was accused of a crime that was not yet perfect and unjustly punished. Now he has no friends, except for the damned dark angel named Morning Star, and there is no other goal except revenge. Revenge that can bring down the heaven and destroy the world.
Jack from the Shadow "is one of the deepest and most mysterious books of the master fantasy Roger Zhelyazy, who deserved his place on a shelf next to the masterpieces of the imagination of Borhees, Kafka and the Brothers Strugatsky.
The novel is published in a new translation and is equipped with additional materials: a number of preface, essays and a novel about Jack from the Shadow.
Today, publishers like to build walls between science fiction and fantasy, but in fact these are two sides of the same medal. This was brilliantly proved by Roger Zhelyaznia with his "Jack from the Shadow", memorable and original combination of two genres, written with the usual plowing for the author. In it, he creates another memorable hero, worthy brother Corvin from Amber and Sam from the Prince of Light, and the world in which he lives is one of Roger"s most exotic and colorful landscapes. Mandatory reading for all fans of the master. " - George R. R. Martin
