Sanctuary is a city of adventurers and social outcasts. Here people and non-people live according to the laws of courage and strength, meanness and deceit. It seems that all conceivable and unimaginable vices have found refuge in this abode of adventurers, warriors and magicians - the World of Thieves. Ten years have passed, and Zharvina returned to Sanctuary again to report to Master Melilot about the work done. But this time she was accompanied by a young man who was under a curse: he could not sleep in the same bed twice or eat at the same table. The girl hoped that the third of the great magicians of Inas Yorl could free him from this terrible curse.
