After making a dizzying career in this new world—within a year rising to baron, and then to count—Viktor Glukhov gained no influence or standing in the kingdom, but he acquired powerful enemies instead. Not only influential officials of the kingdom turned against him: some of the orc tribes, spurred on by the keeper of this world, Rok, began gathering to destroy heretics—followers of Hujghark.
Without even realizing it, our hero revived an ancient orc legend, becoming for them Hujghark—the Spirit of Revenge. And the beliefs of his followers lifted the Earthman into lofty realms beyond the reach of mortals, where local gods resided.
He became a hostage to his own actions, and the more often debt and honor pull him toward a path of uncompromising struggle against the gods of this world.
