Unlike the other occupants of Jamyria, Margo is destined to enter. Every fifty years a man is gifted with a mark of power in hopes of destroying the gateway between worlds and freeing its people.

But those people are the ones who lived there, and somehow only a few decided to take a trip outside to spread the word about the place. Since rarely does someone go there, they decided to send invitations so that they could gain tourists. And somehow, an invitation ended up with the queen of Arendelle, and it made her day worrisome.

But every new advancement comes at a price: magic must be harvested as "artifacts" from The Zone: one of many hotspots of wild magic, where fireballs and lightning bolts surge forth from the very ground, where wildlife is mutated into grotesque, hideous monsters, where even the dead sometimes rise from their slumber. The Zone must be explored by vedmaks, pathfinders and daredevils that wander it in search of viable sources of artifacts. Two of these vedmaks, Misha Sorokina and her protege, Drazhek Sventoslavichi, embark on a quest into The Bald Mountains, in search of an underground cache of artifacts. But if such grave peril marks the surface of The Zone, then what trials await beneath The Earth?
