Rozmaryn never knew his mother. When he finds an old photograph of her in the company of a stranger, he goes looking for answers. What he finds is Tefil. Tefil lives in a garret flat in a quiet Polish town. He is balding, not especially fragrant, and fiercely committed to avoiding the repayment of small debts. His philosophy centers on mould. Mould, Tefil argues with full conviction, is the only truly unconquerable living thing—it survives being eaten and digested, it outlasts civilisations, and it is destined to consume everything, including humanity itself.

Mein ganzes Leben hatte ich der Aufgabe gewidmet, der nächste Wächter des Kaiserreichs zu werden. Ich hatte schon alles gesehen: endloses Töten, Kriege, Staatsstreiche. Ich war mit der Gabe gesegnet, und als jüngster Träger des Ranges „Genie“ versetzte ich meine Feinde in Angst und Schrecken. Offenbar war das nicht genug. Meine wahre Aufgabe begann erst, als ich alle verlor, die mir lieb und teuer waren, und dann eine geheime Wächtertechnik einsetzte, um einen Tag in der Zeit zurückzureisen – damit ich an den Verantwortlichen Rache nehmen konnte.
