Until recently, Blazhka was the only female rider in all of Udelje. Now she is the leader of her own brotherhood of half-orcs. The first year of her reign turned out to be extremely difficult: the fortress is in ruins, many soldiers died in the last battle, hunger is raging in Otradnaya, and it is not known how long it will be possible to last on scarce reserves... Every day there are more and more problems. A flock of predatory dogs surrounds the camp, and the insidious Gispartan nobility makes plans to drive the half-orcs out of the Ul-Wundulas forever. In an effort to protect her people, Blažka makes the difficult decision of leaving the Bastards' lands and embarking on a long journey to the forbidden elven possessions. Half-orcs are no stranger to fighting for existence, but this time they will have to stop their long-standing enmity, fight the monster and challenge not only the enemies, but also the very nature of Udelya.
