It is believed that a person who gets there dies immediately. But is this so? Research into the Wasteland was classified, and yet this is Count Averin’s only hope. With the help of friends and the future empress Princess Sophia, he decides to take a risky step. But even if their plan works, who knows what other demons will be able to get out of there - and what threat it will pose to the world.
