This land has long been tormented by wars. Small states, principalities and fiefs fought for supreme dominance. Finally, the rival cities of Kwon and Tali formed an alliance, bringing a semblance of peace to the continent. It was too long ago, and now local forces are once again locked in a quarrel. At the heart of Kwon Tali lies Lee Heng, who enjoyed relative stability for centuries under the iron hand of the Protector and the city's five magicians. But her reign is also in danger. Full of ambition, the king of the southern Itko Kan decided to test the strength of the walls of Heng. His assassins are already in the city; worse, under his command - as rumors say - truly nightmarish, inhuman forces lurk. A shadow of uncertainty has covered everyone, monsters prowl the besieged streets... But among the chaos, wonderful opportunities can be found, as the young Dalkhonese magician who recently entered the city would say - too difficult a prey for an equally young killer, ready to do anything to prove his skills.
