Sashka Perventsev got into the Game by accident. Two fans of deadly dangerous extreme needed a third partner. He agreed… and ended up in Mirgard—a world of ninth-century Vikings. He rowed a drakkar’s oars through a seven-beaufort storm, boarded Frisian knorres, fought berserkers, stormed the castles of the Franks, and with his friends defended themselves with a wall of shields against the English cavalry… And he never retreated—honor mattered more than life! He played the brutal games of the Vikings, but he remembered: he, Alexander Perventsev, also has his own game. Strategy.
