Sergey Odintsov, a man from our time, never thought he could end up in a чужий world. Here the Middle Ages coexist with new technologies, and the clashing of swords is complemented by gunfire from firearms. A former centurion, Volk, the hero of a past war, has been declared a state criminal. A reward is set for his head, but unexpectedly, old enemies rally under his banners. Now he is Count Odintsov, and he must build his own state. But mysterious magicians who know the secrets of future technologies are ready to spill blood so that this doesn’t happen.
Count Odintsov, leading a newly assembled Wolf detachment, goes on reconnaissance into the forbidden territories called the Iron Lands, where magicians rule. He must uncover the key secrets of the Wolf world: who the magicians are and their lords—or “their imhoras”; why only they possess technologies of the future. And most importantly—he will learn who Sergey Odintsov really is. And what place he will have to occupy in the new world being built right before everyone’s eyes. After all, history is made by Sergey Odintsov and his loyal friends.
