Each volume opens a new magical story. Young Count Alexander Vorontsov has gained a rare magical Path, becoming a Seer of Mysteries. His calling is to unravel magical secrets, intrigues, riddles, and crimes. By solving these things, he develops his magical gift. According to the laws of the Empire, Alexander is not an heir to the head of the family—he is the younger grandson, not responsible for the clan, but he can enjoy freedom. Alexander sets up residence in an old manor on Stone Island, visits a coffeehouse where the coffee is prepared by a thousand-year-old djinn, and becomes friends with the keeper of the Invisible Library. He walks through the magical quarters of the Capital, where magic hides around every corner. Young, intelligent, and determined, Alexander is respected by the head of the Vorontsov family, who accepts his advice. Influential families also find themselves in complicated situations— and it is the Seer of Mysteries who helps them get out.
