Los pintores de la Academia de los Portales son los únicos que saben cómo dibujar los extraordinarios portales de viaje que constituyen la red de comunicación y transporte más importante de Darusia. Sus rígidas normas y su exhaustiva formación garantizan una impecable profesionalidad y perfección técnica en todos sus trabajos. Cuando Tabit, estudiante de último año en la Academia, recibe el encargo de pintar un portal para un humilde campesino, no imagina que está a punto de verse involucrado en una trama de intrigas y secretos que podría sacudir los mismos cimientos de la institución.
