From the depths of the Settlement, from the Black Distance, a fiery star flew in, destroying all life in its path. Few were lucky enough to survive its fall. Five young people are forced to flee from the surface of the earth into the gloomy world of underground cities where the snags live. In the old days, two powerful tribes lived on earth - the Alvas and the Snagas. In the Great War, the Alvs won and drove the Snags into deep dungeons. The elves themselves have disappeared somewhere - they probably went to other worlds.

However, not all the elves have disappeared - here and there people appear with a mysterious mark in the form of a star on their shoulder. So one of the five had such a sign. Who is he, this young student of the magician? What fate awaits him in the world that has changed after the disaster?
