The heroes of this book were brought together by a chance meeting in a nondescript cafe. Could they have known that tomorrow would take them from their hometown to the deep past? There, where one and a half thousand years ago, on the ruins of the Un power, the war of all against all, for the inheritance of the legendary Attila, blazed. And the Otter Slavs, whose clan lives on the border between the forest and the steppe, drawn into this bloody whirlpool, desperately fight for their existence. Our heroes will have to share their fate. More than once they will face difficult choices and more than once they will have to regret their decisions. They will have to learn a lot before this unknown and terrible country recognizes them as one of their own. And not everything in this world is subject to man, however, be that as it may, the path assigned to him must be completed to the end.
