About the book: 2006 / King Avornis Gras together with General Girundo go to Montenegro to return the throne to their ally Prince Vsevolod, from whom his treacherous son Vasilko took it. The Avornians are afraid of an alliance between the Montenegrins and the Overthrown, otherwise they will have to deal with the allies of the overthrown god along too much of the kingdom's borders. Meanwhile, the longtime opponents of the Avornians, the nomadic Menteshe, also became more active, but the death of their leader sowed civil strife in their ranks. King Lanius is looking in ancient manuscripts for information that will allow him to resist enemies and return the menteche slaves to their former life, but sometimes he is visited by thoughts that the throne, usurped by Grasse, could again belong to him alone...
