About the book: year / There is an Ancient World, and there is an Empire, the center of the Ancient World. The Empire's whole raison d'être is war. Endless war across all borders. And even during occasional lulls on the external borders, wars do not stop between the fiefs, in which princes, dukes, barons, knights, simple warriors, ordinary people spend their whole lives... The emperor would have to extinguish civil strife, instead of encouraging it, but The Ancient World has its own laws: the empire draws strength from these wars, and its power is incredibly great. Everything is obedient to the imperial will: warriors, priests, magicians, animals, demons... But it turns out that the sovereign-emperor is afraid too... The sea - the end of the world - is approaching the Ancient World. But the emperor does not intend to give up without a fight, he, with the help of his dashing, violent and fearless vassals, hopes to overcome even the destiny of Fate.
