The bloody war and the shameful treaty concluded at its end force thousands of Goraut residents to leave their homes. With bitterness in his soul, not agreeing with the actions of his father - the high priest and first adviser to the king - Blaise de Garcinc also leaves for a foreign land, having rejected the career of a servant of God and for this deprived of the help and support of his family. Now he is a knight and a warrior, a mercenary and a soldier, an unknown northerner from a country of barbarians. However, it is he who is destined to save the pampered and civilized Arbonne, where his path of adventure and glory led him, from complete defeat and destruction. Under the clash of swords, on the battlefield with his fellow tribesmen, a new destiny is born for Blaise, who from now on will have to bear the burden of power and responsibility, the burden of love and glory.
