Source: Ulyana Karavaeva is again conducting an investigation. You remember that in the previous book she had to go in search of her missing father and experience many adventures. This time, brave Ulyana accidentally met a suspicious guy named Pirate and used her last money to feed him in a port tavern. Then she did not yet know that soon she would not only have to fight with real sea robbers, but also meet again with the terrible (and now half-iron) bandit nicknamed the Crooked Beast.
