Returning to his homeland after a long absence, the Ghoul, the heir to one of the most noble families of the vampire kingdom, and part-time the crown spy who looked after the enemy’s lands, did not expect to find witchcraft signs in the damned wastelands of his native borderland. And let it not be a secret to him for a long time that the once powerful and prosperous ghoul state is dying, that the subjects, bewitched by the blue-eyed queen, are blind. And those who see the light rot in the Northern Towers and drown in the swamps. There is no need to go far: his younger brother is fascinated by that queen, writes poetry, thinks he is the lady of his heart. And there is no one to rely on in their native land. And the blue-eyed queen is ready to conclude an alliance with her sworn enemies. Only under the guise of an alliance will vampire extermination, bonfires and racks come to the lands. And even more than that - dark sorcery, with which the Llakhar sorcerers call upon dark forces. And those forces have already taken the trail, entwining the nightmare with reality and confusing the Ghoul.
