In the north, sometimes people are born with a warm heart and an inquisitive mind, on whom the ancient gods themselves have their eyes. Many trials await them - after all, the gods are cruel to their chosen ones. And whether to become an obedient conductor of the will of higher powers or, listening to them, to make a difficult choice, accepting all its consequences, everyone decides for themselves. The path ahead is not easy. This book tells about the events that took place in the times preceding those described in the first book about the Twisted Staff in the north and northeast of the same cavern.
