Description

This land has long been torn by wars. Small states, principalities, and fiefs fought for supreme dominance. At last, the rivals— the cities of Kwon and Tali— formed an alliance, bringing the continent something like peace. But it was too long ago, and now local forces again clashed in a bitter struggle. At the heart of Kwon Tali lies Li Heng, for several centuries enjoying relative stability under the iron hand of the Guardian and the five city magi. Yet her reign, too, faces danger. Ambitious king of the southern Itko Kana decided to test the strength of Heng’s wall. His assassins are already in the city; worse still, rumor has it that under his command there truly hide monstrous, inhuman forces. A shadow of uncertainty fell over everyone—monsters prowl the besieged streets… But amid the chaos, a young mage from Dalo—recently entered the city—said there are wonderful opportunities. For such a complex quarry, the young killer, ready for anything to prove his skill, might be exactly the right match.
