When everyone around you is weaving intrigues, how can you avoid getting entangled in a bizarre web? The elven magician Lei, not burdened by such concepts as duty, justice and honor, has so far been saved only thanks to natural cunning. The orc warrior Mara fought openly, sparing no effort and not sparing her enemies. But people are not inferior to the elves in cunning and superior to the orcs in cruelty. Outsiders can no longer stay in human lands, they are now outlaws again. The wanderers still have one road, only they go to different goals.
