The Exiled Lands remember their cruel past, when armies of men and giants fought tooth and nail, and the grass turned black with blood. But those days have passed, a fragile peace has been established between several kingdoms, and new heroes have replaced the legends. Korban wants to become a warrior under the command of Brenin, King of Ardan - and nothing more, he wants only to serve and protect. He does not yet know that his dreams will come true too quickly and he will have to pay for them in blood. Evnis, Brenin's adviser, always craved unlimited power and made unimaginable sacrifices for it. Now that his goal is so close, he will stop at nothing and will remove anyone from his path. Veradis, one of the most skilled swordsmen in his family, comes to the court of Aquilus, King of Tenebral, and immediately falls into the detachment of his son, Prince Natair, but despite all his skills and courage, he cannot emerge from the shadow of his brother. And Natair himself has a lot of ideas for governing the state, but his own father interferes with their implementation. None of the heroes suspects that the Exiled Lands have never recovered from past wars. And already the stones are crying blood, the giants are gaining strength, and monsters are born. Soon all plans will come to an end, because people will have to face a danger in comparison with which all the monsters from ancient legends pale.
