Dark Alamez, Morron and commander of the legendary Eleventh Legion, is used to fighting with his visor open. And all sorts of palace intrigues and diplomatic tricks only prevent honest warriors from doing their immediate job - beating the enemy! But orders are not discussed, and if it is ordered to march to the Shevarian fortress of Udbishche, Alamez will not argue whether this is right or wrong. And yet, it was not for nothing that Dark became friends with von Kerwitz himself, the chief of Herkan intelligence. A joint operation to prevent a military provocation against Gerkania, launched by Duke Theodore Martel, the head of the vampire clan, taught Alameza a simple truth: you don’t always need to fight openly if you really want to win!
