Growing up in poverty, Nikolai struggles daily to survive. The long-awaited day of the selection for the Northern Bear Tamers approaches, but his wounds are too deep to be hidden. If he is not chosen, only death awaits him. Despite his remarkable luck and skill, each day is a new torment. Alongside his loyal companion, he faces powerful enemies — strong enough to threaten even the wyverns. As if that weren't enough, a new enemy emerges on the horizon, bringing with it the harbinger of the apocalypse — and the destruction of everything Nikolai knows.
