Reedus Lanier, the youngest of the Magistrum scientists who fuse magic and mechanics into a single whole, was unexpectedly lucky. The mysterious stranger gave him a real treasure - a scroll containing a drawing of an artifact known in tales and legends as the Heavenly Gate. Old fairy tales say that whoever opens the Gate will become the owner of innumerable benefits and knowledge. The young master understands that he is incredibly lucky, but to open the Gate he will need the help of irreconcilable enemies - magicians and mechanics, whose war has left a scorched earth between the Great Cities, which is called the Wasteland. Reedus doesn’t know if he can come to an agreement with the magicians and mechanics, if he can keep his secret a secret and if he himself will survive, because there are so many in the world who want to stop him.
