The Ness sisters escaped from their home world, dreaming of a stormy, adventurous life as space explorers and treasure hunters. The dreams came true, but they had to pay for the adventure with their own blood and the lives of their comrades, and the treasures did not bring happiness. And now Adran and Arafura are outlaws: the “Avenger” flying on black sails is pursued by a squadron hired by those who do not know how to forget and forgive. And the squadron is headed by a man who has long been accustomed to achieving his goal at any cost - and, what is even more dangerous, has the necessary talents for this. For the first time in Russian!
