The Scarlet Star is rising, and soon a new blow from heaven will fall on Svetloyar. But for now, its inhabitants and aliens from Earth are forced to solve other problems. A horde of barbarians who came from the icy wastelands sweeps away the kingdoms of the northerners one after another. New Rome is next in line. There is also unrest on the southern border with the Great Steppe. The legions led by Princess Athena go north, and the imperial allies - Russian aviation and the intelligence officers of Major Vyazemsky - do not stand aside. But in addition to barbarians, they will have to face face to face with Dark fairies, bloody deities and hired killers who call themselves adepts of Chaos.
