About the book: 2013 / The spirits of ancestors demand vengeance, and Count Urquhart Royho, having left the ranks of the guards company, goes to the North together with loved ones, allies and mercenary soldiers. He must punish the murderers of his blood relatives and free his brothers and sisters. But what will happen next when the treacherous traitor Duke Grieg falls? The imperial count thought about this, but did not know that the death of his sworn enemy would not bring peace to the lands of the North. Pirates and northern nomads attack the outskirts of the empire, hunger threatens people, and evil spirits and undead roam the wastelands in search of food. There are many dangers and difficulties, but Count Roijo is not used to retreating. He takes responsibility for the peaceful people who trusted him - and the time comes for the protector of the North, who took an oath to serve the empire and protect its borders.
