Artyom is the most ordinary guy of nineteen years old. He grew up in a family of princely servants, and his life was determined by the will of the clan, which his parents served. It was by the will of the clan that he ended up in the war, where he was seriously wounded. While Artyom was lying unconscious, a mysterious stranger came to him, told strange things and, before disappearing, granted strength. In an instant, all four energy channels were opened at Artyom, which is very rare even for boyars and princes. When he returned home, noble families and special services begin to take an interest in his abilities. Artyom learns the secret of his origin and is drawn into a ball of intrigue.
