The Order of the Holy Inquisition has declared a crusade against all non-humans - the Changed. His influence spreads with incredible speed to nearby kingdoms. Against this political background, in the kingdom of Armania, the Carnelian Roland appears - an experienced mercenary warrior with his friend Tirri - a small talking animal, who, according to the laws of the clergy, must be burned at the stake, since he is a Changed One.

Having received his usual job - as a bodyguard to accompany the daughter of a small town priest on a pilgrimage, Roland this time finds himself in a kaleidoscope of incredible adventures, where battles with monsters, wars of magicians, new friends, sworn enemies and, of course, love await him.
