The world of sword and magic. A world of pain and heroism. A world in which hope remains even where it should no longer exist. A world of kingdoms, fragile political alliances and small but terrible wars. A world ruled by the mysterious Lord of the Runes with an iron hand - the hand of power. A world in which it is possible to take away anyone’s power and give it to someone else. Here the rulers undertake not only to rule, but also to serve. Here again and again the battle flares up with those who are called simply and fearfully - non-humans...... There is not and there will not be peace between the South and the North. Someone must finally win the final victory - either the mighty Gaborn, recognized as the Supreme King of the North, supported by the light magic of his wife, a beautiful sorceress, or the ruthless soul eater Raj Akhten, who called cursed warlocks from underground nests to the aid of the South... To fight a new enemy, the king Gaborn is forced to go with a detachment of brave men to the very heart of Evil - the mysterious Lair of Bones...
