From the Back Cover: Secondo un'antica tradizione, ciò che è fabbricato dagli dei non può essere destinato all'uso di un mortale. Ma gli dei sono orafi abilissimi, un gioiello prodotto dalle loro mani ha un inestimabile valore e può trasformare il destino di un'anima. Tornato alla narrativa dopo anni di silenzio, Llyod Arthur Eschbach racconta in questo agile romanzo una vecchia leggenda che ha a che fare, tra l'altro, con un bracciale e i suoi mistici poteri. Ma è anche la storia di una lotta mortale per conservare la pace sulla terra e per non dover mai più subire le oscure minacce della negromanzia. L'uomo stesso è un gioiello degli dei: ma nella sua ricerca di talismani contro il male non può fare a meno di usare a volte strumenti proibiti. Con conseguenze pericolosissime...
English Translation (by google): According to an ancient tradition, what is manufactured by the gods cannot be destined for the death of a mortal. But the gods are very skilled goldsmiths, a jewel produced by their hands has an invaluable value and can transform the destiny of a soul. Returning to fiction after years of silence, Llyod Arthur Eschbach tells in this agile novel an old legend that has to do, among other things, with a bracelet and its mystical powers. But it is also the story of a deadly struggle to preserve peace on earth and to never have to suffer the dark threats of necromancy ever again. Man himself is a jewel of the gods: but in his search for talismans against evil he cannot help but sometimes use prohibited tools. With very dangerous consequences...
