Arallor is a mystery world. A dark flame rages under its surface, it itself is permeated with streams of magic, and what creatures you will not find in it! People and orcs, sidhs and mantids, gnomes and kobolds... But even such a world rich in miracles sooner or later becomes cramped. In the Far North, the mysterious Witch is gaining strength, the magicians of the Corvus empire are mired in intrigue, and some aliens from nowhere, the trinity of "free sorcerers" seem to have conceived an unprecedented... It only seems that there are some other forces behind all this, and what is happening in Arallor is only a reflection of the true struggle. At the center of the events, by the will of fate, are the orca-slave Shaart, the young necromancer Rico and the imperial magician Publius Marron. Will they be able to figure it out and keep their world and those they love from falling - and themselves?
