The first step to the mysterious Council of Elements is the creation of a soul familiar. The last step leads the seeker through the Gate of the Dead. A last step that presents the magician X and his companion Amon von Falkenfels with an almost insoluble problem, because only the dead can pass through the Gate of the Dead. But before they can face the solution, the companions are taken back to the county of Falkenfels, which has been overrun by the Empire, and there they find Count Falkenfels, Amon's father, lying dying. Close to madness from grief and anger, Amon begins to doubt his companion's sincerity, because all signs point to the secret mastermind of the attack and his father's murderer point to his companion, the magician X...!
