About the book: 2007 / The Barbarian Empire did not abandon its aggressive plans. Now her eyes are turned far to the east, where the regiments are about to move for a grandiose war. The fate of the peoples of the whole world should be decided there. It would seem that this makes the task of a handful of young fighters easier, who spent ten years on foreign soil preparing for the liberation of their homeland. However, it is too early to rejoice: strong detachments of enemies remain in Gerdonez, and the imperial garrison is headed by Brenor Gonset, a genius of intrigue and secret operations. This means that Chagalan will again sail through the strait to conduct reconnaissance, look for allies, and prepare a landing. And you can’t guess what will be most important for the successful completion of the mission: cunning, skill or unbending will.
