The Kingdom of Lendia fell to its knees before the wild horde of nomads - the Hungurs. Traitors become winners, and the remains of great warriors rot in the fields. But for the Hungurs the attack did not pass without losses. One of the knights manages to kill the great kagan by cunning, and now the knight’s son, Yaksa, is doomed to eternal flight, to the life of the damned, fleeing the revenge of the invaders. Fate will lead him to the Great Steppe, confront him with the last defenders of Lendia, with monsters, with living trees that resurrect and enslave the dead, and with a strange monastic order. Yaksa remembers that he must take revenge for his family and his land, but how can he preserve kindness and the remnants of humanity in himself, seeing betrayal and cruelty at every step? Yaxa knows that the demon is always breathing down his back, but perhaps it has already taken possession of his soul for a long time.
