Once again, the main hero has to face the nightmarish danger looming over the entire world of magic.
Bitаli Kroe, a teenager who became a student of a French school of magic, at first glance doesn’t stand out among his peers. But it’s precisely behind him that a chain of troubles and strange incidents stretches—as if some invisible force is persistently trying to kill him. A shadow seems to hang over the young man— the Dark Lord’s recent terror that was only defeated at the cost of enormous efforts by the strongest sorcerers.
Against his will, Bitаli is drawn into a cruel confrontation among adult mages, where all he can rely on is his own gift and the brave support of devoted friends.
