The world, surrounded by a magical Veil, was waiting for a hero - and the hero came. A young man named Kordi sets out on a journey to fight evil. Werewolves, robbers, powerful Lords of Darkness - the more terrible the enemy, the better. Poets compose songs about Kordi's exploits, people organize feasts and processions in his honor, but what motivates the hero? And what awaits him at the end of the journey? People who glorify Kordi do not realize that his full name is Kordale Nightwing, son and heir of the Lord of Darkness. And this is not the only secret of the monster winner.
