There is almost no iron in this world, and each country has its own magic in use. In the lands of Pavia, there is little iron ore, and only the most durable magic works - the magic of name, family and nature. The royal dynasty is about to end, the nobility is outraged that those who fought did not receive compensation, the peasants are ready to rebel because of rising taxes... Shadi, who in his youth left an inherited place at the royal court, is forced to ask questions that sound in each of the worlds: “What Can I know?”, “What should I do?”, “What can I hope for?” This time the cover was drawn by Veronica Titova. The design was invented by the publishing house, but for this book I created it.
