The moment of truth comes when everyone has to decide why he lived and for what he is capable of dying. Incredibly powerful forces are converging on the Drowned Crab, a deserted island in the middle of the seas of Evial. From now on, in its skies, in the dungeons of the great pyramid built on it, the fate of the worlds and everything Ordered is decided. Here the gods stand at the head of the human army to win, and people lend a helping hand to them in trouble, here cunning spells are broken against the strength of will and love, here death is now only a step for a new happy life. Here ends the story of the magician Kara Laeda, the necromancer Tawny Owl, and the warrior Fess, which is so unlike a fairy tale, because everything told in it is true.
