The action of Codex of Victory takes place in the distant future, which is quite unusual for the genre of science fiction. Humanity inhabits more than twenty planets, but the social structure has returned to feudalism again. The state is ruled by the king, and certain territories were transferred to barons and lords. The plot revolves around a conflict between the kingdom and a faction known as the Auguments. It is made up of genetically modified humans equipped with numerous cyber-implants. They believe that ordinary people are prisoners of their own imperfect bodies and that for their own good, everyone must be enslaved and then improved.
