In a military empire where battle mages and steam knights stand side by side, crowned with glory, Mikula is a poor farmer from a small village with a simple dream: to survive in this turbulent world and hold fast to justice. To escape conscription, he reluctantly joins the ranks of steam-powered mech engineers, unaware that the wheels of fate have already begun to turn.
Magical talent, the key to the halls of nobility on this continent, is an unreachable dream for Mikula. Yet an accident hurls him into the heart of a storm, forcing him to join a special operations squad led by the ruthless battle mage Ognian Spitignov. Their brutal mission is to stamp out the sparks of rebellion in a newly acquired territory.
On this land ravaged by war, Mikula faces challenges unlike any he has known. He must not only struggle with his conscience, but also find a way to survive between the empire's iron heel and the enemy's blades. Amid despair and hope, Mikula gradually discovers that a power beyond his imagination lies dormant within him.
This is an adventure of courage, sacrifice, and redemption. Can Mikula stand firm in the flood of war and save himself and those he holds dear from the empire's shadow and the enemy's siege? Amid the cruel power struggles between empires, can he find a glimmer of peace and a place to put his heart at rest? The answers will emerge over the course of his legendary journey.
