They say that you cannot escape fate. And if you are destined to follow a certain path, you will not be able to turn back. But what if this path doesn’t suit you? Vika is a future battle mage. On the roads of the United Worlds, she lost most of her illusions and is now determined, no matter what, to decide for herself how to live. But what about those who interfere? With Alex, who won't leave her alone. With the rest of the forerunners, who do not want to lose the empath from their hands. And especially with that enemy, whose plans have clearly changed, but still do not promise anything good for Vika.
