In the tenth book of the series, the army of the forces of the West, led by Lisutaris the Ruler of Heaven, prepares to fight the orcs. Frax suddenly becomes the captain of the security service, and he has a lot to do. Who will deliver Lisutaris to the oracle without the True Church getting wind of it? Frax. Who should look for a powerful orc sorceress who can take on any form? Again to Frax. Even the search for the stolen shoes of the sorceress was blamed on Frax, but there was not a penny of help. Makri's faithful companion is always hiding from her former elf lover, her subordinates are of no use, and her fellow wanted man is a hired killer. And the area is turbulent: storms, ambushes, angry Nizhians, and in addition, somewhere nearby there is a whole army of invisible orcs hanging around. But the worst problem is that there is an acute shortage of beer.
