Description

Father-general dreamed of raising his son into a soldier just like himself. But the son, who—at his father’s insistence—graduated from a prestigious military academy, had absolutely no desire to command or to follow military discipline.

As a result, he was exiled to the most dysfunctional settlement in the entire district, to serve as a local police officer.

But Pavel Pavlovich Pavlov—known among the locals by the nickname Troy—didn’t take his exile as punishment. Far from being an angel himself, he managed to restore order in the village and made many friends, among them Baba Yaga, Zhazhila the lеший, and even four rowdy wolves—together with Troy cheering them on in taverns on those days when he managed to slip away from his wife.

And trouble began with the wolves’ sudden disappearance after another boisterous drunken spree.

It turned out that over the entire population hung a threat: in the district, a foreign sorcerer— a black mage from another world—had started operating, kidnapping the residents. And to keep Troy from interfering, the mage slandered him—and even Yaga.

Now the two of them have no choice but to fight an uneven battle with the mage—for their kidnapped friends and for their good name.

But they are not alone! On their side remain animals and birds, lешаки and kikimoras. And even the fiancée who was forced to come to the settlement in order to marry off the fool of a local officer, Pavlik.
