The sequel to the magical detective story "The Griffin Tower"!

Gardens are blooming in magical St. Petersburg, bridges are beginning to be built, and white nights are coming...

The spring idyll is overshadowed by tragedy: several girls died at the hands of an axe murderer. The perpetrator is caught, but a year later the murders resume.
Who is this copycat? Or was an innocent man arrested?
The investigation is entrusted to the staff of the antimagic Order. Polina and Pavel are again looking for clues and trying to stop the criminal. They discover that the threads of crime lead to an urban anomaly — the statue of the Bronze Horseman, which comes to life at night.
The characters delve into the dark secrets of the city, where every building holds its secrets, and the glare of the Neva River reflects more than it seems.
