Problemem, jaki nastręcza życie w społeczeństwie dającym ci wolność jest to, że daje też ono wolność wszystkim innym. Życie Bena Ashwooda z osady Widoki miało swój rytm i porządek: warzenie 4 beczek piwa tygodniowo, wysłuchiwanie opowieści w gospodzie Pod Baranim Rogiem i doroczne walki na kije na Festynie z okazji Święta Wiosny. Nawet pojawienie się w okolicy krwiożerczego demona nie wprowadziło istotnych zmian w jego życiu. Co innego, pojawienie się Mistrza Mieczy i wyjątkowo poirytowanej czarodziejki. To wywróciło życie młodego Bena do góry nogami. I chociaż przygody, kiedy już jakaś rzeczywiście się zaczyna, wydają się znacznie bardziej przerażające niż w opowieściach, Ben postanowił wykorzystać swoją szansę i ruszyć na ich spotkanie. Przecież wróci, prawda? Wróci do swojego browaru, przyjaciół i ciepłego zapiecka. Być może, gdyby Ben wiedział, gdzie zawiedzie go ciekawość i żądza przygód, strach nie pozwoliłby mu uczynić pierwszego kroku. Na szczęście nie wiedział.
