The near future. Eurasia is sinking. Volcanic cataclysms are raging at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, and it is advancing to the south, year after year eating away giant strips of land from the mainland. The Lost Land is territories that will soon go under water. Abandoned, dead and tormented by frequent earthquakes. There has been no law in the Lost Land for a long time, but there are still brave men who, at their own peril and risk, continue to pump oil here. Mizgir is the commander of mercenaries who protect his master’s business from the encroachment of competitors and bandits. The most notorious of the latter are sometimes hunted by mercenaries. It is a game of chance for those who find the usual local entertainment too bland. But one day the excitement turns into a nightmare when a creature appears in the area that the hunters have never encountered before...
