The capital of Altoria is large and crowded. Simple mortal and powerful magicians, almost holy and notorious scoundrels get along strangely in it. But if during the day she looks peaceful and safe, then at night in Altir the worst nightmares come to life. Ancient altars awakened from hibernation, monsters crawling out of deep holes, mysterious murders, abductions... clouds are inexorably gathering over the capital. And in the center of the nascent storm is not at all by chance the magician of Death - Arthur Race.
