Not much time has passed since the brutal slaughter of the wolf and the bear, yet Ratibor has his hands full: the good knight is exhausted by uninvited guests who have been showing up regularly with not-so-good intentions. One after another, in small groups and whole bands, villains of all kinds come for the red-bearded hero’s head—and to make matters worse, from the Accursed Valley, dreadful howls are tearing through the whole area, and people have started disappearing not far from that ominous place. So whom will Prince Svyatoslav send to find out what this unknown misfortune has brought to those gloomy lands? Read about the new adventures of the mighty giant in the fifth part of the tale of Ratibor of the Rus people.
