What should a warrior do if he is tired of fighting? If he wants to exchange endless bloodshed for a measured life, far from battles? He leaves the cities engulfed in fire and arrives where, on the ruins of an ancient empire, a new empire, not so brilliant and not so majestic, is trying to maintain peace and tranquility. But the path from a brutal mercenary to a peace-loving merchant is not as simple as it seems. Fate does not want to let him go without a fight and gives him as a companion a slob, deprived of an inheritance, and an unprincipled sorceress who attracts misfortune to herself. The world he was looking for turns out to be deceptive. This world begins to collapse and fall into the abyss when the blood begins to boil. Blood of the Despot.
