The capital of Altoria is large and crowded. In it, mere mortals and powerful magicians, almost saints and outright scoundrels, strangely coexist. But if during the day it looks peaceful and prosperous, then at night the worst nightmares come to life in Altira. Ancient altars awakening from hibernation, monsters crawling out of deep holes, mysterious murders, abductions, clouds are inexorably gathering over the capital. And it is no coincidence that the magician of Death, Arthur Raish, finds himself in the center of the emerging storm.
