Another world, a foreign land, soaked in blood from revolution and civil war. Elves, dwarves, nobles, rebels, rapiers and machine guns—magic and steam engines, all whirled together in a fiery cyclone of hostility. What do you do if you’re a stranger here, an ordinary Earth guy turned into a shaggy creature—an yaga—by a dark mage’s will? What do you do if you can no longer pronounce more than three hundred words? What do you do if your soul tears to get back to Earth, to your loved ones, but here people are counting on you, love you, and believe in you? And finally, what do you do if your enemies end up closer to you than your friends? Be human—even as a yaga. Be human—and you’ll understand everything.
