Description
LITERARY FANTASY: Xarsians have slain King Margus and the entire royal family. They have forced the port city of Weyvin to pay a geld tax to the usurper, King Derek, and Xarsians now roam the streets looking for fights. The elderly Bogatyr knight Dobrynya has been forced out of retirement after his friend Piotr is murdered by Xarsians, but his unusual plan to right the wrongs he sees is to open a school for training Bogatyr knights, an ancient order of wandering knights who dabble in magic and the supernatural. Summoned by his former master, Ilya Bogdanovic arrives to help the knight who trained him with his plan to fight back against the Xarsians. Dobrynya was happy to stay retired, but he is one of the most skilled warriors Korovia has ever seen, and with war brewing the good people of Weyvin need a warrior of Dobrynya's stature to fight back against the invasion of Xarsians seeking to bend the people to the will of the usurper. Ilya and Dobrynya have worked together previously to kill dragons, giants and trolls, but are they a match for an army of evil warriors, wizards, assassins, demons, and anything else the Xarsians can call upon?
