Time of legends. Time for heroes. Grand Duke Vladimir Svyatoslavovich. Baptist. Sovereign. Caesar. There were no equals to him and there will not be a thousand years later. And for many hundreds of years after his death, the people of the State of Rus' created by Vladimir will dream of the return of the past. About a world where the Sovereign Red Sun rules, and the heroes loyal to him reliably guard the borders of Russia. An arrow that hit the spine deprived Ilya Godun, the adopted son of the prince-voevoda Sergei, of a glorious future. His legs were paralyzed. One arrow - and the fourteen-year-old warrior turned into a helpless cripple. But Ilya did not give up. He was able to understand: it is not the legs that make a warrior a warrior, but the true warrior spirit, which cannot be crushed even by death.
