In troubled times, even trade convoys need the accompaniment of a magician: how many wyverns, ghouls and other undead are there on the roads? Young Ivona Vizentskaya, setting off on her first journey, had no idea how long it would be. She naively considered herself a novice magician, not realizing that she was chosen by birth. Sacred groves of elves and underground cities of gnomes, winter quarters of unsociable trolls and lands of evil orcs will meet on her way. Very little time will pass, and responsibility for the fate of the Seven Intelligent Races will fall on her shoulders: the brewing great war may turn out to be the last for everyone.
