Once upon a time, in the dungeons of Shannuran, where the monstrous Black Widow rules, three people met: the boy Crush, the adopted son of the Widow, the great magician Simon the Flame and the adventurer Vulm from Segentarra. Twenty years later, fate brings them together again. The boy has grown up, responds to the nickname Cyclops and wears a leather bandage covering his forehead. After a battle with a demon, the magician is seriously ill and is forced to seek help from Cyclops. As for the adventurer, he had learned well that only dragons have the last laugh. In winter, in the snow that has covered the gloomy city of Ter-Teset, this trio will be hot. The amulets adjuster Ines di Salvare dies, whose illness turned her into a monster, and the Cyclops - Ines's faithful servant - decides to continue the mistress's research, which was laughed at by the strongest wizards in the area... The authors dedicated the novel "Cyclops" to Robert E. Howard, one of the fathers of modern fantasy. However, the scenery of “might and magic” only emphasizes the realism of the story. The second and final book of the novel also includes the stories “His Majesty’s Fleet” and “The Laughter of the Dragon” - pictures of the past lives of the heroes.
