The last year of the reign of Grand Duke Igor. Sergei Duharev is the commander of a flying detachment of Varangian scouts in the Wild Field. Khozars, Pechenegs, Romans - everyone wants to make these feather grass steppes theirs. Some - to rob, others - to trade, others... Still others, the Romans, do not care who will own the Steppe. If only this “someone” did not threaten Byzantium. Therefore, the Romans pay in gold to pit the Rus and the Pechenegs, the Hungarians and the Khazars against each other. This is beneficial to the Caesars, because this gold will still return to Byzantium... if it is not lost along the way. A warrior does not choose whether to fight or not. He will fight because war is his life, his destiny. But a real warrior chooses the place for battle himself.
