From early childhood, they were sworn enemies—a Russian pagan who worships the ancient gods and a Russian Christian who has entered a new era.
Their fate was meant to be decided by a judicial duel (there are grudges for which the viri is paid not with silver, but with blood), if not for the Khazar invasion that forced them to forget old scores and, shoulder to shoulder, fight against a common enemy—becoming comrades, brothers-in-arms, almost friends…
But when not only princes and peoples fight, but even gods—when religions collide and the heavens tremble—mortal beings cannot break out of this bloody circle. After victory over the Khazars, they are ordered to settle their ancient dispute, crossing swords in a merciless clash.
Which one of them is right? Who is to blame? Who gets to live? Who must die?... LET THE GODS DECIDE!
