The castle has stood here for almost a thousand years. Its walls remember barons and kings, noisy feasts and long sieges, heroism and betrayal... According to rumors, there is even a ghost here - what is a decent castle without ghosts? The glory days are in the past, the ceilings have partially collapsed, and the castle is empty. In summer there are excursions around it, in winter children go sledding along the slopes of a dry moat.

Who would have thought that the castle would have new owners - or invaders? That the castle will have to withstand one more, final siege, although there will be only three defenders and in the modern world they are considered children. That the enemies will again climb the siege ladders, and a hail of shells will rain down on them from the loopholes... That there will again be a place for courage and loyalty in him.
