Once upon a time, the people of this planet owned high technologies... But for many centuries now, a monstrous catastrophe has thrown civilization into the distant past, and now only Emperor Ajannar and a few of his associates have knowledge of ancient secrets. Other inhabitants of the planet rely only to the will of the gods and to magic - or at least to what is considered magic... However, it seems that neither the gods, nor magic, nor ancient technologies will help the young Meme, who was given training to the detective inspector Nonor. his first case, which at first seems simply boring and absurd, stretches further and further. Petty theft is followed by murder. Behind him is another and another. And, worst of all, the traces of the crime stretch to the imperial palace, where the seeds of a mysterious conspiracy are ripening.
