Predslava, the nephew of the Wise Oleg, comes from a line of women who have been offered to a snake for centuries—the ruler of the great Volkhv. However, nowadays customs have softened, and nothing threatens the life of the young beautiful princess.

“Listen—it's a snake! A snake is flying to our princess!” they whisper. And the young warrior Voyata, who arrived in the lands of the Drevlyans, swears to protect Predslava at any cost.
