A blind apprentice gunsmith, Peppo, by a ridiculous accident becomes the owner of an ancient magical artifact. And even though the teenager’s life is not sweet to begin with, it rapidly starts going downhill—because three people are hunting the owner of this all-powerful thing: a paralyzed duchess who longs for healing, an inquisitor who wants to impose a new faith on the world, and a colonel who has become a victim of the magical artifact and is determined to destroy it. But Peppo is in no hurry to part with his curse—after all, it may be his only chance to regain long-lost sight.
