The story of magic, and the existence of the gods who were the rulers of the world in the ancient times.
The book revealed how the gods were ended by a more supreme being; it's connected to the Chronicles of Alkta and his adversary Timshani, who was in league against a prophecy foretelling the downfall of his throne - he tried by all possible exertions to prevent the fate. The one time cave-dweller, Alkta, the son of the great Wenita filled with enermous magical powers, voluntarily went on a deadly mission through the dark passages of the ghost forest to a far country where a fetish belonging to his kingdom was taken to. The eventual outcome was far different from his thoughts.
This story was brilliantly told by the author who brings it to an exciting climax.
