У меня есть все, о чем мечтает, каждая девушка. Десять лет назад, я не имела ничего - лишь дружбу и любовь всего лишь одного человечка. Нам было по девять, но это не так важно.

Он был моим щитом, от насмешек в приюте, был моим теплом, моим защитником, моим домом.

Эштон был моим лучшим другом.

До тех пор, пока однажды все не изменилось, и на долгие годы, судьба разлучила нас, а в его сердце поселилась ненависть ко мне.

Я хочу увидеть в его глазах мальчика из прошлого, но теперь я вижу там лишь...

чудовище.

Мы не должны были снова встретиться. Но так случилось, и с этого и началась моя история...

Любому русскому человеку известно, что подкрадывается незаметно. Так и тут – уехал в экзотический край, и угодил в «задницу дьявола», причем в самом прямом смысле – свалился в водопад со столь характерным «поэтическим» названием, с головой окунулся в бурлящей речной воде. А вот когда вынырнул – действительно, то самое место и есть, и «глубже» не бывает – мистика, право слово.1860-е года. Латинская Америка охвачена конфликтами, междоусобицами и пронунсиаменто. Ужасная ситуация, когда ты оказался не в своем времени, на чужой для себя войне, от которой тебя вроде отделяло ровно полтора века. И что хуже всего, когда хорошо знаешь, что страна, за которую тебе предстоит сражаться, потерпит самое кошмарное поражение, каких никогда не случалось в Новом Свете за всю историю. Отказаться невозможно, выбора фактически нет – умереть просто, но на войне можно и уцелеть…

It’s been a week since the cargo ship was lost on my watch. A week with very little sleep and not much appetite. Now the bio scanner is picking up some sign of life out there in the wreckage, and it’s my duty to go see what it is. Maybe I’m not as alone out here as I thought. And maybe I don’t want to be.
