The events gather momentum. A delegation arrives in Igmaliоn from the northern princely house, long believed to be dead. It turns out that corrupted mages are far from the worst trouble awaiting the kingdom. Something terrible awakens—an ancient evil. In the capital, completely different people gather, sometimes not even understanding why they are here, but each one guards a piece of the truth. The wild karaÿns come out of the forests to unite with the people. But most importantly, everything still depends on five friends—Kenrik, Nira, Haleg, Mellira, and Darlina. In their hands lies the fate of Igmaliоn.
