Forty years before the founding of Vilkhferm, the Holy Kingdom of Lyra was conquered, and its population began to be mercilessly exterminated. The only state that agreed to accept non-humans on its territory was Okta. In return, the High Priest of Lyra shared with the king the secret of soul relocation. This is how the Department of Restless Souls was established. And of course, Andrei had to go and get a job there. Everything might have been fine, if she hadn’t accidentally overheard a secret conversation. And as we know, witnesses don’t live long. But our heroine is clever and resourceful, and she managed to avoid an early reunion with her ancestors. And the fact that she now has to live in a new body, under a different name — well, that’s just a detail.

And one thing is certain: after this encounter, Lana will never be the same. Her power is awakening. And the hunt for her has begun...
