Then powerful magicians - bards - decided to ban words that pose a threat. Many years passed, but the disease never disappeared. And Shai began to notice strange things around her. As soon as she finished her embroidery, she materialized nearby. Fearing that these are symptoms of an illness, the girl decides to tell the bards about everything. But the magicians are sure that she is healthy. And the next day, Shai finds his mother with a dagger in her chest... The village is convinced that the woman died due to an accident, although everything points to murder. Not knowing who to trust, Shai sets out in search of the truth, only to be faced with a new lie, and it is no longer possible to escape from it...
