There is no Black Squad anymore. After the bloody battle for the Tower in Chari, Costoprav leads the last survivors south, searching for the mysterious Hatovar—located thousands of miles from here—a city that may exist only in legends about the appearance of the first Free Squads. Along the way they encounter new allies, and many fighters join them. But it’s not enough. Because beyond lies land conquered by a new terrible power— the Masters of Shadows. And that means a new war is inevitable, and to win it, the Black Squad must be resurrected again.
