He was a useless cripple to nobody, who thought his life was coming to an end. But fate granted him a second chance to start all over again, and retired FSB officer Vadim Sokol is thrown into the past. The twelfth century. He is young and strong again.
But where should he go, and what must he do? He could become an explorer and a warrior, a merchant and a feudal lord. Yet Sokol chooses a different path and becomes a vedun—a person whose purpose is to stop a Crusade against the Slavs and defeat the enemies of his people. Not just to dig a grave for the crusaders, but to reverse the entire historical process and allow those you consider your own to survive the Night of Svarog with fewer losses.
