"Light in Darkness" - the eighth and final book of the cycle "Outcast." At the beginning of the story, the young Baron Coris Van Iser and his men are punished for murder by reference to the Wildlands. This is tantamount to a death sentence: it is almost impossible to survive in undead forests. But Coris, in which the souls of three different people are enclosed with the help of magic, inspires his subordinates to a feat: by erecting an impregnable fortress among bare rocks, they repel enemy attacks. The baron himself, at the cost of heroic efforts, destroys the tomb of Taris the Necromancer, the main culprit of all sinister events, including the attacks of the shurds and undead on forest settlements. However, the price Coris paid is high. To fight evil, he himself becomes evil, letting in something dark. He gains monstrous power, but no one knows how long he can control it.
