About the book: 2007 / The World of Islands, whose peoples NEVER mix with each other... A world of tiny kingdoms, endlessly concluding alliances and waging war... A world in which from time immemorial there are TWO magical schools - Silv, who believe that witchcraft has the right to ONLY be light, and Dun, who profess the dark side of magic. Until recently, their adherents believed that a bad peace is better than a good quarrel... But now the Great Master Dun has reigned on the distant island of Gortan - magic Mortred, who dreams of subjugating ALL ISLANDS to his power - and on the Middle Archipelago, silv-magi are gaining power, calling themselves Guardians - and also dreaming of HIGH POWER. As long as Mortred is alive, as long as the Guardians are powerful, there will be no peace on the Islands. But are they able to the mercenary Blaze, who has the gift of resisting magic, and her companions - the sorceress princess and the damned exile-murderer - must fight both the power of Light and the power of Darkness at once?
