Well, it’s just my luck—ended up in the Novgorod principality.

At least I know history—and that’s why I understand: it’s almost the same Rus’.

Historical reality is blended with a touch of the fairy-tale world, but that’s what makes it even more interesting.

Here the mermaids sit on the branches as well, but if you don’t know how to greet them, better stay quiet and walk on. Water sprites live in swamps, household spirits in dwellings, and through the forests prowls a whole menagerie that textbooks once labeled “fairy-tale.”

Only the fairy tales here aren’t always kind.

Wolkolaks bite for real and try to devour you; vampires fling themselves at the living with axes; and even in the river there’s some terrible creature that dragged seven merchant ships down to the bottom.

And Pskov has already been seized by the Latins and the Sword-Bearers, while there’s a little more than five years left until the Mongol invasion…

And I am the Empty. Restored by Perun… The only one who knows what will happen…

And perhaps the last one who can change it.
