Continuation of the VarNak cycle. The hero must become a guide in the Wild Lands, where he will meet… Dying to save the world and getting one more chance by resurrecting in another body. But fate has a surprise in store: he will be reborn in the body of a convict—or, as they call them here, a VarNak. Getting to the edge of the empire, losing magic, but where only mages can survive. Becoming the target of revenge from influential aristocrats, and surviving in the Wild Lands inhabited by monsters. What else is needed to bend this world to your will?
