Shadowrun is a book series based on the RPG game of the same name. This is the world of the future, ruled by multinational corporations. And in this world live elves, orcs, gnomes and other creatures that appeared as a result of a mysterious catastrophe. And magic. The Secrets of Power trilogy opens the inter-author Shadowrun series, and tells the story of Sam Werner, a mid-level employee of the Renraku Corporation. His sister survived goblinization and, having not received any answers from the corporation's management, Sam decided to find out for himself where she was and what was wrong with her. To do this, he needs to leave the corporation and begin his own independent investigation, choosing his own path. The dangerous path of the “shadow worker.”
