One day, he is saved from death by a strange youth with lilac eyes — an exile from the legendary land of masters, Jeteyvena... Merkhina, the castle of the ominous Executioner, is impregnable, and its torture dungeons instill horror even in the most daring bravehearts. Yet, the warrior Tai has vowed to take revenge on the Executioner of Merkhina, who once subjected him to unbearable torment... But after sneaking into the fortress, the warrior discovers a shocking truth: about the Executioner, about himself, and the Evil that has enslaved the world.
