V otdalennoy zemle Laskar sem pravyaschih klanov vot uzhe sto let srazhayutsya drug s drugom za prevoshodstvo. Rotgara, syna vozhdya klana Rivsburg, vsegda vospityvali tak, chtoby on stal nadezhnym pomoschnikom svoego starshego brata Yorika, kogda tot unasleduet vlast posle togo, kak ih ottsa ne stanet. No bratya esche ne znayut, chto vskore vekovoy uklad narushitsya i vse perevernet inaya sila, kuda strashnee lyubogo cheloveka. Davnie vragi Rivsburga, klan Vorund, popadayut pod vliyanie chego-to drevnego i zloveschego. Ih poraboschaet zlo, utselevshee s legendarnyh vremen, kogda sami bogi bilis mezhdu soboy. Mir menyaetsya, nikomu nelzya verit, lyuboy soyuznik mozhet okazatsya predatelem, i vperedi geroev zhdut surovye ispytaniya.
