And when great suffering befalls people like Phirez, a sorcerer exiled for his fascination with necromancy, expect great trouble. Having gained immense power, he managed to enslave the will of the Great Mage himself and brought much misery to the inhabitants of the realm of Jharan.

But that wasn't enough. Consumed by inner demons, the evil sorcerer, through deception and promises of protection, turned a group of Jun scholar-mages and their families into his eternal prisoners. Holding the children as hostages, Phirez forced the Juns to work on realizing his insane dream – to take revenge on all living beings under the sky...

A sickly boy, who suffered the most from beatings and mockery from the overseers assigned to the children by Phirez, found peace and solace in the library, and matured earlier than the others, managing to turn his weaknesses into qualities that helped him escape from the slavery that had lasted throughout his short life.

Like a frightened animal, huddled in a crevice of a huge tree, sheltering from the piercing wind, and looking at the distant lights of Phirez's castle, the young man swore that he would return, take revenge on Phirez for the deception and betrayal, for all their people, humiliated and enslaved. Hatred breeds hatred. A new cycle of revenge has begun, and who knows if the young fugitive will be able to break it?
