Synopsis

A mutilated body is found in the harbour of the ancient city of Askir. The dead man is Jenks, a servant from an embassy, who had no reason to be in such a rough district. Staff Lieutenant Santer leads the investigation, helped by the magician Desina, who can bring past events back to life before her eyes. What she sees of the night of the murder points to a threat to the whole city. The enemy works with black magic, and Desina's own powers are not enough to counter it.
