The vacation that Igor Loginov and Morgana arranged for themselves was short-lived: circumstances again call them into battle. Four powerful messengers of the Void, together with the Kriegan Lilith, who is forced to help them, are looking for the Shards of the Key to the Thirteenth’s dungeon.

And if the Thirteenth breaks free, the existence of the entire Sphere of Worlds will be at stake. How can we manage without the E-magician and his eccentric daughter?
