Having unwittingly destroyed a plot being prepared to overthrow the reigning dynasty in the kingdom of Dargas, Atey attracts attention to himself. The name of the free prince Saishat is now well known. The Phantom makes both friends and enemies. The prophecies of the Wise One, which he made in the last minutes of his life, begin to come true. Behind the Ghost stand two mysterious races of Tivalen - the inhabitants of the Ashes: the Vairons and the Vaiktairons - those of them who have become outcasts among their fellow tribesmen. Moreover, the number of wise men who swore allegiance to the young prince is growing every day. Soon the Lair will become too small for them. Do not deceive those who trusted him, find a place on Tivalen that his vassals will call their home. And the most important thing is not to deviate from your chosen path.
