The shaky peace on the mainland lasted only a year and a half. Chancellor of the Empire Demos Devaton has a hard time: a baby sits on the throne, the church is split by heresy, and the border with Rundkar is once again restless. Obsessed with the idea of the Holy Campaign, the king of Heiligland does not notice the moods of his own subjects, and Baron Aldor has to pay for his mistake. Former mercenaries Artanna and Gert will have to learn about the most dangerous secret of Vagh Rana and decide which side to take in the coming war. But all of them are unable to stop the plague that is approaching the mainland.
