The poet Thomas Binnory, the king's favorite, dies of mental illness. All efforts of healers and medicus magicians are in vain. Only a harpy can save the unfortunate man - a female bird, an inhabitant of the reservation on the Strofad Islands. But will she agree, remembering how people fought with her tribe, pushing her out of their ancestral lands? And if he agrees, what will Kelena the Gloom do with the poet, knowing that the influence of the harpy is not able to be noticed by the most experienced sorcerers of Rettii? Everyone is watching the winged guest - the life malefactor Nexus, the private demonologist Kruchek, the captain of the life guard Sternblad, the thief Chris the Fidget, Professor Isidora Gorgauz, a former abusive magician... The novel “Harpy” continues the “Fantasy” cycle, which includes such well-known works of H. L. Oldie, such as “Shmagia”, “The Home of Heroes”, “Three Tales of Miracles” and “The Archives of the Watch of the Seven”.
