Viktor Glukhov, in the body of a young Vangor aristocrat Irridar Toh Rangora, is captured and ends up on a SSO (Special Operations Forces) spaceship. The situation is complicated by the fact that the symbionts Shiz and the kids went into the astral plane before being captured and the hero is left without his magical power. Alone, surrounded by enemies, without magic, the former major must do the impossible. Free yourself and return back to the planet. His life for a short time turned into roulette: lucky or unlucky. Will the hero be able to escape from captivity without magic and symbionts? Will the city on the mountain, the haven of the spirit of vengeance, stand? All this is hidden behind a veil of uncertainty and is in the hands of the unpredictable lady luck.
