The third part of the Witch World saga tells about the events taking place 20 years after the victory over the calders. The story is told by the children of Simon Tregarth and the sorceress Jelit, the twins Killan, Katteya and Kemok. Bound by strong mental ties and separating earthly and witchcraft blood in themselves, they discover that all four cardinal points are subject to their perception only. For all other inhabitants of the magical world, the East does not exist: there are no legends, no historical references, or even memories about it. And when a new threat looms over the world, the Tregarts decide on a dangerous and adventurous journey - to the East, to the country of Eskor, hidden from minds and eyes by a magical barrier. Somewhere there lies the key to the mysteries of their world, to the sorcery that secretly decided their fate!
