Ark of the Shadow-Workers

The Watchman of Salt and Dust is the shadowy realm of the Svyatoslav Bratva, a brotherhood bound by intrigue and layered duties to fulfill. At the leadership is Kolya, the youngest of them. As a sniper with Sigma Hunter characters, he embodies the very essence of darkness. Under the water, he commands a formidable submarine, a silent hunter lurking beneath the depths with an all-snipers-crew. Together with his two brothers, they watch over the sea, offering protection to seafarers and refuge to women escaping their darkest nightmare in forced mobilisation. On the ground, he rides a dual-sport motorbike to watch over the cavalry from high and afar. The four other brothers, equally grey, traverse the world on their personalised motorbikes. But Kolya's heart harbours a different secret, one that thrives in the shadows. In the quiet hours, he watches over Alma, a woman full of curiosity who is studying for her master's degree on a full scholarship. Working at a restaurant to support herself, she finds herself entwined with a stalking maskman who keeps slipping gifts under her pillow. Their worlds collide on the chilling Kotlin Island in the far north. Alma's life takes a heart-stopping turn when she's abducted by the leader of the notorious Yuren Bratva. In the heart of the land of rebellious sailors and soldiers, romance takes root, and nothing will ever be the same. Prepare for an exhilarating journey where love and obsession intertwine, where loyalty is tested to the brink of destruction, and where the Svyatoslav Bratva navigates a treacherous path between darkness and duty. The Watchman of Salt and Dust plunges you into a gripping tale of passion, sacrifice, and a brotherhood teetering on the edge of darkness. Will Kolya and his brothers surrender to their twisted side, or will the shadows of the past in the forest dim the light of their future?
