Arkonat is a land of magic and magic, not at all like paradise (and its inhabitants are not angels either). There is a place for everyone here: cruel rulers and unscrupulous sorcerers, obsessive fanatics and insane killers. In this poisonous cauldron, the brooding scribe Gabriel Shokangi is doomed to become a puppet in the hands of the king and the order of magicians. But Providence has its own plans for the son of the Great Lord: forgotten tales must be told and stories must be completed. No, it is not destiny for wizards to sleep peacefully. Cheer and Awe: The Destroyers Return!
