Around the world, people die under mysterious circumstances. Each branded with an arcane sign, they are pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. When more people are missing, with similar signs appearing in and around their homes, Jason, an average New Yorker, realizes the victims are a riddle addressed to him.
He is the final piece.
Emily appears, the most beautiful woman with extraordinary powers and startling amber eyes, and tells Jason that powers dormant within him are about to wake. In the world of Light- and Darksighted, he is the only person who can prevent Darkness from enslaving the world. He is the Beholder whose advent has been awaited for many years.
Setting out on a journey with Emily, Jason discovers many improbable things like Sight, Soulfusion, the Hall of Refuge, but the greatest surprise arrives the moment he realizes he has fallen in love with Emily.

The characters are neatly developped, believable. Although I didn't really like the easiness Jason, the main character, agreed on following Emily. Their love story was touching, mainly in the end. ALMOST MADE ME CRY DAMNIT! Still the plot twist was the worst - hitting right in the feels. Also I liked the fact that the guilt was pushing him forward as more and more people were dying.
It started as a boring book. I was thinking really? This is supposed to catch the reader's attention? BUT then the author throws at you the supernatural! I was convinced from reading the synopsis, that it will be just like any other fantasy books with the main character from ordinary world and being sucked up into the world of magic. But he made it so good that I was hooked. You could say I swallowed the book.

The complexity of the world surprised me. Everything seemed to have it's place and it was thoroughly explained to the readers. And I really really like the diversity in places, how they travelled across the countries. I had some laughs come with it. I'm Slavic too, and hell that description was on point!
To conclude, excellent book. Keep up the good work!
