Decades after nuclear war, magic returns.
For Yevgeny Arafyev, this means using his powers to help the Russian Orthodox Church as a secret agent. Though young, he is chosen for his first mission: recruit a girl who, like him, is gifted with powers.
Or kill her if she refuses.
Follow Yevgeny on his first mission as he does whatever it takes to not fail for once.
