The Third Installment in the Tsuriai series. The young vampire Nikolai lived simply. He was modest and soft spoken. His only real friend, Svetlana. A human girl who shared his home. Then Earth became Tsuriai, Moscow became Golod, and Nikolai met Lucifer. He came to serve on Golod's Circle. Everything changed... "Long before nightmares plagued Tsuriai, even before the problems arose between Osore and Tsumi, and just after Tsuriai became all that it should have been to begin with; I set up the Circles that would ensure utopia would thrive. Among them the twisted Circle of Golod. One of my favorites." -From the Desk of Lucifer.
