Vladislav Lebedev, Isser Yatom, and Manya, who soon found themselves on Interpol's wanted list with a red notice, are now in a place where no one can find them for an extended period. However, this vast forest, which they see as a haven, is the home of woodland elves. Among the forest's inhabitants was a savage Ifrit tribe, too. It doesn't take long for them to draw the wrath of the Ifrit elves on themselves. Worse, they do not know how to fight these vengeful beings. Egis, who is imprisoned in a demon's headquarters, cannot respond to their cries for help. After days and weeks of fear, they decide that fighting the Ifrits is the only way to get rid of them, and they seek alliances.

This work is an excerpt from the first book in the "Rites in the Scorpion Sanctuary" series, especially for horror genre lovers (who don't want to read the entire series).
