Orphans Айрин and Барен work in a tavern. One day, a mysterious foreigner appears in the village and begins questioning Барен about something strange: whether they have guards, how many… Then she whispers that in a sack with a rune that protects the settlement from the plague, there is surely gold hidden inside.
Барен decides to check—he opens the sack, but the protective note with the runes instantly flares up and burns away, and there is nothing inside.
To protect her brother from the fury of the rune master, Айрин forges a new note. The master notices the girl’s abilities, takes both orphans under his protection, and sets out with them on a journey across the entire country. Thus, Айрин and Барен unwittingly become participants in a dangerous game of dark powers, where sorcerers and dragons weave their secret schemes.
Where did Айрин’s power come from? Is something ominous hidden within her? And can the brother and sister stand firm against evil?
