Elf Mauros lost his parents early and was brought up by relatives, and then troubles fell on the head of the unfortunate, like from a cornucopia. He considered himself the most unlucky elf in the world, but the truth that accidentally opened to him in a magical iron book turned out to be much worse: Mauros was destined to become the Black Marshal and conquer the whole world in the name of the god of war Armars and the Dark Coalition. The elf realized that he was a pawn in the game of the Great Lords of the Elements, Great Witches, sorcerers, gods, free spirits and even restless dead, but at the same time thousands of lives on the Southern Continent and the outcome of the coming war depend on him. Will Mauros emerge victorious from the brutal game of the true masters of the world? Will he keep his soul and body? Will the prophecy of the iron book come true?
