The Prince is the fantastic novel by Ivan Lagutin, the third book of the cycle “Orcs of Ancient Rus,” genre action fantasy, alternative history. And in general, gentlemen, paragraph. Big and thick. I was on a full-orc drakkar. Nearly thirty tusked green-skinned warriors of varying degrees of stink made up the crew of Jarl Rurik. And guess where he was rushing faster than the wind over the cold waters of the Baltic? East, to the glorious city of Ladoga. Nonsense, you say? And you’d be right, damn it!
