Life of a mercenary is hard and dangerous. Every new order becomes more reckless, and disobeying it almost always means death. And the master’s enemies are also eager to use force and magic. Old soldiers avoid him—after all, he took on a task too dangerous—and in despair the mercenary hires a motley crew: an exiled nobleman, a wizard without a diploma, a dwarf blacksmith, an elf archer, and a voracious ork. The cavalry of nomads, dishonest knightly tournaments, monsters attacking from the ground, water, and air, and also cunning beauties—this is only a small part of the trials. Beware, mercenary—danger is everywhere!
