Nathan is an unusual teenager, he does not fit into any system - neither the system of ordinary people, nor the system of magicians, to which his entire family belongs. After all, the blood of his mother, the White Witch, and the blood of his father, the cruelest Black sorcerer, were mixed in him.

He's B&W, he's Half-Code, the one who's destined to be brutally tortured, imprisoned in a cage, persecuted by the Council of White Wizards. But he must break free and escape to find his father and receive the three gifts. Otherwise he will die a terrible death.

However, the Catchers are tracking his every move, and can he trust anyone - his brother, sister, or at least the girl that Nathan loves with all his heart...
