The hired killer dark elf Senegard, nicknamed Shadow of the Hornet, after completing his next contract, decides to put an end to his cruel trade. He is haunted by the ancient elven legend about the Cursed Armor, made by a skilled elven magician, which protects its owner from any weapon. And since elves do not die by natural causes, the Cursed Armor gives its owner a real chance to live until the end of time. Shadow Hornet decides to find them, but all he knows is that the powerful artifact is hidden in the impenetrable Ami-Tsishgun Mountains, far, far away in the northeast. Defying difficulties, the dark elf sets off on a quest in the company of the warrior Hemila, the mage Ormanar and the former temple slave Rinia.
