Nikolai Lantsov always had this gift: to believe in the impossible and make the impossible a reality. Never complain or give up. No one knows how he was able to survive the bloody civil war that broke out in the homeland of the young king. Now, as enemies gather at the borders of Ravka, weakened by internal strife, the resilient young man faces new challenges: to replenish the treasury, find allies and revive the once great army of Grisha - people with magical abilities. Nikolai is willing to risk everything to save the country, even if it means bringing to light secrets that are better off buried and opening wounds that will never heal...
