Your nickname is White Youth. You were born a hero. And what? The usual thing. You are not the first, you are not the last. At ten years old you hit a crow right in the eye and a bear in the ear. All that remains is to visit Kuzna and acquire heroic armor. Life is beautiful, there are battles and exploits ahead. And one of the envious people had to mention out loud the name of your brother, whom you don’t know about, and your family doesn’t even want to talk about! From this moment your life is shattered into pieces, and the fragments fly into the Abyss of Death, towards three iron cradles. Your bride is kidnapped by a giant from the Underworld, your sister is kidnapped by the giant's younger brother, and you are offered the kidnappers' sister as a wife - more of a monster than a woman. After all, a family saga, as the wise, sighted blind man Saryn-toyon says, is much more dangerous and meaner than any legends about exploits. The novel “Strong” invites the reader to the fantastic Three Worlds, where behind the revived legends of antiquity rises the ghost of the “theory of time” of Academician Kozyrev - a living legend of our century .
