A new mortal threat looms over the Iheltet Empire, which has barely recovered from yet another war. Rumors began to spread to the capital that the dvenda, mysterious creatures that ruled the world thousands of years ago and were driven out by the Black People, had appeared on the outskirts of the imperial possessions. And the Dark Lord, their master, will stop at nothing to regain his former possessions and subjugate the bodies and souls of people. Ringil, a brave warrior and hero of the last war, was one of the first to respond to the call to protect his native borders. His squad is joined by Egar, the leader of the nomadic tribe and an old friend of Ringil, and Arket, the last representative of the Black People on earth. Now everything is decided by steel - the steel of blades, which has the last word in any battle.
