      Hrobka Majhanů v daleké Vassagonii skrývá mnohá tajemství, ale žádné z nich není hlubší než tajemství Knihy Magnakai.

Osamělému Vlkovi se s pomocí kouzelníka Benedona podařilo zjistit, kde se kniha nachází, tato zpráva však neunikla Haakonovi, nejvyššímu lordu Temnoty. Obě znepřátelené strany nyní usilují o získání znovuobjevených posvátných spisů. V sázce jsou nejen jejich životy, ale i budoucnost celého Magnamundu...
