What happens if a person comes up to you and says that he can fulfill any of your wishes? A town on the edge of the world is gripped by a strange fever: people appear in different places, whose souls are captured by mysterious spiders. To each of them, a certain merchant of happiness promised to realize his dream for reasonable money. Eleanor Briar needs to figure out at any cost who sells spider demons to people, because at stake is her Gift, the ability to use magic. The power of the villain spreads through the streets of the city, the mysterious world of Spirits is fraught with danger, and messages from the past lead the heroine to an unexpected mark.
