2020. A world where Carthage won, not Rome. The ball is ruled by the magic of the bloodthirsty Baal: give what is most precious to get more. Every man for himself. All religions have been erased. Life is concentrated in giant ziggurat anthills, where tricksters live in the dungeons - magical people outside the system to be exterminated, who do not honor Baal. His name is Leon. Like all tricksters, he is a warrior, and also has the gift of techno - the ability to understand mechanisms. During a raid, he is captured, and his consciousness is rewired: a program is installed to destroy his own kind. But instead of becoming the loyal dog of the system, Leon discovers new possibilities in himself and challenges the world of Carthage. Will a person, albeit an unusual one, be able to turn the tide of history and save his soul?
