Kellen is only sixteen, and there is already a bounty on his head. He left home, he has neither money nor magic. But he and his partners - the wandering cartographer Ferius Perfects and the bloodthirsty squirrel cat Reichis - acquired a reputation as a gang capable of dealing with any magician. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that many people turn to them for help. Beren is threatened by bloodhound magicians who have cast a deadly spell on his only daughter Seneira. At first, Kellen does not want to get involved in this matter, but, noticing that the girl’s symptoms of the disease are similar to those that he himself has, he cannot stay away. Is it possible that by overcoming the Black Shadow of Seneira, he himself will receive hope for healing?
