Bandits have made Oleg’s life miserable, demanding tribute in the form of his hard-earned goods—protection payments disguised as brute extortion. Though he and his wife, Svetlana, have held out as long as they could, their pleas for aid have gone unanswered, and the situation is growing dire.

Or will they allow this last vestige of hope to fall into the hands of those who prey upon the weak? The fate of Oleg, his wife, and his dream now rests in the hands of those willing to take a stand in the lawless expanse of the Stolen Lands.
