Once upon a time, young Durand, the youngest and uninherited son of a provincial baron, who believed in a mysterious prophecy that predicted for him the power, strength and love of the most beautiful of ladies, decided to become a knight errant, performing feats and participating in tournaments. But exploits are poorly paid, and tournaments do not happen very often - and soon the young knight becomes one of the most famous mercenary captains in his world. The demand for him and his squad is constant: the barons are planning to throw the mad king off the throne, powerful feudal lords are squabbling among themselves like wolves, and the seeds of rebellion are ripening in the North. Durand is gradually getting used to fighting for clear gold and believing that everything in the world can be bought and sold . Is that all? After all, one day the time will come when he will have to make a choice between knightly honor - and betrayal, between the call of the Higher Powers - and wealth, glory and love. The prophecy is made. Is it possible to resist him?
