Jorian, the former king of Xylar, has been in trouble all his life. And although sometimes he got into trouble, he learned to masterfully fence, pick locks and lie well. The time has come to pass on this experience to Kerin, his younger brother. The young adventurer goes to the Kuromon Empire to learn the secret of the clock mechanism necessary for the family business. Kerin has no way of avoiding enemy tricks: he will have to fight with a treacherous sea captain, a two-faced sorcerer and pirates. And everything would be fine if it weren’t for the assistant imposed on him - an annoying elf the size of a thimble, who only knows how to plot intrigues.
