Beginning of the 11th century. The death of Vladimir Sviatoslavich, the baptizer of Rus’ and prince of Kyiv, gives rise to strife among his sons. Fighting for power, they bring foreigners—Varangians, Poles, and Pechenegs—onto Rus’, sparing neither the lives of their subjects. The Russian land is soaked in blood. Taking advantage of the discord, magi of the old gods try to restore their former influence.
Three brothers—Nikita, Vitim, and Dementiy—are drawn into this struggle. As ordinary warriors, they must make a choice between the CROSS and a pagan TALISMAN in order, with a sword in their hands and faith in their souls, to multiply the glory of the UNCONQUERABLE RUS’!
