The Shadow of the Raven

Darkness descends on the once flourishing Bryazhsk. In five days, a ruthless ataman known as the Serpent will enter the city to forcibly take the beautiful princess Elena as his wife — along with her kingdom, betrayed by her cowardly father. But not every fate can be accepted: the loyal maidservant Aksinya reveals to Ivan, who has lost his father to bandits, a great secret.

In the dense forest thicket grows a magical oak — a gateway to another world, full of wonders, trials, and ancient power. Only he who can pass all its tests will have the chance to change the course of history. For Ivan, this is not only an opportunity for revenge but also a hope to save Elena, his friends, and all Belovodie from the Serpent’s rule.

Will an ordinary young man be able to challenge the merciless ataman and defeat the darkness?
