Pokračování bestsellerové série Odkaz Orďši od přední autorky africké fantastiky Zélii a Amari se podařilo zvítězit v téměř beznadějném boji a navrátit do Orďši magii. Jenže rituál byl silnější, než tušily, a znovu zažehl magické schopnosti nejen mažiů, ale i šlechticů s magickými předky. Teď se Zélie musí pokusit sjednotit mažie v zemi, kde je nepřítel skoro stejně silný jako oni. A poté co se šlechta spojí s vojskem, aby si udržela vládu nad Orďšou, Zélie se pouští do boje za Amariino právo na trůn. Jedině to totiž ochrání mažie před hněvem monarchie. Občanská válka se zdá nevyhnutelná a před Zélií stojí doposud nejtěžší úkol: musí najít způsob, jak zemi sjednotit — jinak se jí Orďša rozpadne před očima.
