Raymund Sturg is a murderer. The best of the best. In the world of Question and Exclamation, experiencing the era of the great open ones - the era of sails, gunpowder and hardened steel. He works for the International Alliance. A secret organization that is paid to kill the most powerful of this world. His destiny is to be someone else's weapon. And he was. Faithful and reliable. Since childhood. Perhaps only a little more merciful and inclined to avoid unnecessary victims. Something went wrong. He was betrayed. Cat. Former lover, now dangerous enemy. And a voice from dreams whispers about freedom. He's still an agent of the Alliance. But soon the brothers will start hunting for him. What to choose? Really betray and reveal the conspiracy? Or be faithful to the end and wait for a knife in the back. Raymund found himself in a labyrinth, the scale of which he can’t even imagine.
