About the book: year / Kingdom of Cornwallis. A country of primordial princes, mercenaries and burghers, majestic castles and peasant huts. A country of people and those who hide in the Dark Forests. A time of wars, intrigues, conspiracies and betrayals. A time when the splendor and luxury of the royal court are ready to fade under the onslaught of powerful enemies, and ordinary people look with fear at the Grimmel Wall, behind which something is waiting in the wings. But those who have the power to resist evil are now outside the law. The era of change - through the eyes of four friends. Once upon a time, two young men and two girls grew up in Hartward Castle, the last obstacle to the path of monsters. Now they have to experience what the gods have prepared for them. The gods who decided for them. One will become a noble Eorlin - and will pay dearly for it. The other will fulfill his dream of wandering, but will forever miss home. The third, in an insane thirst for revenge, will plunge the kingdom into the abyss of chaos. The fourth will withstand everything. But for now none of them know what the future holds for them.
