It happens that the day is not set in the morning. Marco Nauert, a shadow operative and magician, had just such a day: even the right spells fail when you need to repel a point-blank burst of a Vindicator rotary machine gun, protect a dragon and his small army from the unkind attention of a dragon, and bring a seriously wounded comrade out of a coma. But Marco does not give up - with him all the power of magic, the experience and connections of an experienced shadowman, and a certain amount of money savings, because even in the Sixth Age, the time of high technology and witchcraft mysteries, money is a master key for any door, the only question is its quantity. True, there is no great hope for their power, but Marco always relied more on himself and on his faithful comrades, which more than once saved his skin in troubles around the world. Will he be saved this time? Time will tell.
