Aliens from a world without magic brought their weapons, their technology—and war—to Dert. The alien expedition died, but the war continues without them - on a scorched continent, among the ruins of cities strewn with radioactive ash. The recent rebels of the Black Guard are now one of the last bastions of order. On the pikes and muskets of a small army, a tiny island of calm rests, sandwiched between the interventionist troops, the forces of the usurper king and the creatures generated by magic and radiation. Rosa Granchi, a recent student and now a student of the necromagus, discovers that decency, hard work and talent have placed on her shoulders a burden that may be unbearable - saving the world from a threat that few people notice behind the flames of war... When creating the cover, I used the image proposed by the author. And perhaps it was drawn by him.
