In the boundless Void, the Original World has long since vanished, and only ancient legends preserve faint echoes of it. Centuries passed; a great Empire rose and fell, and breakthroughs in alchemy gave people the ability to cross the Void and reunite the scattered colonies across the Universe. Yet the eternal thirst for power and wealth never died. When in the deserts of Zagrat they found countless deposits of нефть, the planet plunged into a bloody chaos of uprisings and civil war.
At the very center of this madness was the interstellar wanderer Pompilio Cesare Faha der Dagen Tur—an adigen from the line of “gifts,” a commander of the Astrological Fleet and a bambadao. (At the request of the rights holder, a text version of the book without internal illustrations is currently available for purchase.)
