The continuation of the adventures of the last of the mountain hunters, Ardan Egobar. The Order of the Spider has been destroyed, but who was behind them and pulling the intricate threads in the complex web of intrigues? Ardu will have to figure it out and… not only that. Training at the Great School is still ongoing. And on the horizon: new adventures, everyday concerns, friends, enemies, and an altogether non-burdensome detail in the form of demons, foreign spies, mutants, an intensifying conflict among the gangs, and all that makes up life in the Metropolia—the capital of the Empire of the New Monarchy.
