Former thieves Martin and Roni are doing well - life in Princeville is smooth. The orc Burrash works in the port - he commands a team of loaders, and the gnome Lamtak has opened a leather workshop. But an uninvited guest comes and reminds him of his old obligations. To close the debt, you need to go to the other end of the kingdom and rid the former benefactors of the land invaders. Lamtak turns to his friends to travel together to troubled lands, where there is a rebellion in neighboring England, where there is restlessness on the border, where agents of the secret office are desperately fighting with detachments of English saboteurs and where powerful witchcraft forces claim the right to dominate.
