Since time immemorial, there have been two poles in the world: the United Territories of the Consortium, which have followed the path of scientific and technological progress, and the Wild North, where magic is still honored. It is the choice of the path along which states develop that is the basis of a long-standing conflict. The struggle between the two poles of the world is further aggravated by the fact that they turn out to be only figures in the game between much more powerful ancient forces. But each game has its own joker. A new side appears on the playing field between OTK and the Wild North - the city of Vitano, yesterday’s place of exile for state criminals. This third force is determined and capable of ruining the plans of both the two states and the puppet masters behind them.
