Anyone can become a warlock - if only there was a book. The new novel by Alexander Zorin again tells the story of the magical world of Sarmontazara and the paramilitary order of the Arch of Balance. Using the novice witcher Laraf as a tool, black magicians and werewolves Baroness Zverda and Baron Shosha plunge the state of Varan into the abyss of disasters. A retired officer of the Code of Balance, Egin is forced to once again take up the affairs of the order - his former colleagues and friends are in mortal danger.
