People live in the Lower World, and the Airins live on the flying islands. In the Lower World, alchemists brew potions, and on the flying islands, magicians work miracles. Caravans of merchants roam in the Lower World, and beast wings soar over the flying islands. Only small children do not know a long-standing rule: a person cannot get to the flying islands, and Irene cannot live among people. But there are exceptions to every rule. Nayvi is an Irene girl, but she lives in the Lower World. She will not return to the islands - after all, she does not have a beastwing... And the beastwing that brought her to the Lower World died from the arrows of people along with Nayvi’s parents. Years later, she meets a young man who was put on the wanted list. Believing that he is a criminal, Nyvi brings agents of the Chancellery to him, and belatedly recognizes one of them as the murderer of his parents... Welcome to the world of Magic and the Sword, where ballads sound in roadside taverns, sorcerers see the future, and the nobility get stuck in the abyss of palace intrigue .
