Twenty years ago, two powerful sorcerers, Alberico of Barbadore and Brandin of Igrath, led armies into the Palm Peninsula and divided the conquered lands among themselves. Nowadays, bloody tyranny reigns in Alberico’s possessions, but Brandin is merciful to new subjects. To everyone except the inhabitants of the country of Tigana: in the battle for it, Brandin’s beloved son died, and the revenge of the sorcerer king turned out to be terrible. The palaces and temples of Tigana were destroyed, sculptures were broken, books and chronicles were burned. A powerful spell made people forget its very name. When the last one born into it dies, even the memory of Tigan will disappear from the world. However, there remain those who long to save their country from eternal oblivion. Who is ready to kill Brandin, because his death will break the spell. And the fact that two sorcerer rulers are preparing to start a new bloody war, this time among themselves, fits perfectly into their plans...
