A sword named Grey Hawk, forged by a legendary Scandinavian master, allowed its owner to win any duel. Thanks to this magical gift, an ordinary Viking villager, Egil, conquered many lands, becoming the leader and master of the Veplets (Vepsians).
After the legendary warrior’s death, along with his sword, he was buried in a stone sarcophagus that under no circumstances must be opened.
In our days, fleeing from bandits, an ordinary office worker, Sima Bekasova, ends up at an old cemetery near St. Petersburg, where, according to rumors, strange things happen: ancient burials are opened, people disappear… Accidentally finding herself at the center of a deadly game, Sima is forced to untangle a knot of other people’s secrets in order to save her life.
