Debts must be repaid. The talented criminal of the True Empire, Kurt Bas, decided to argue with this everyday axiom, and such self-confidence turned into a real threat for him to go to the Phantom World. Because he owed money not to anyone, but to Sharkey Shan himself, the almighty head of the local mafia. Kurt was pushed onto the criminal path by the dream that possessed him since childhood to escape from the captivity of gray everyday life and deeply breathe in the wind of freedom beating in his face. Now the degree of this freedom is determined for him by personal courage and the ability to steadfastly endure all misadventures and fights not only with former accomplices, but also with numerous monsters inhabiting the World of Prophecy. Everything would have been completely bad if his faithful companions had not helped him on the way to his goal: Arda Cody, a woman from the Firstborn race, and Gatu Farn, a master of Wild Magic.
