Někdejší mučitelský tovaryš Severián už prošel upadající megapolí i městem duchů, podzemním vladařským palácem i vězeňskými kobkami, pampami i velehorami, a z nutnosti i vlastní vůle při tom směřoval stále severněji, do míst, kde armády Společenství snad už od nepaměti odrážejí útoky nepřátel z Askye - státu usilujícího vymýtit každou stopu lidské individuality.
