Ilya Muromets, fresh from his healing at the hands of the mysterious wanderers, goes to Krasnoiar the great smith to receive his first set of arms and armor. But no matter how much Krasnoiar tries, he’s unable to make Ilya a sword.
So Ilya travels into the holy mountains to encounter Sviatogor, the giant warrior. But is this giant warrior any different from the monster Kalivan? During a fateful encounter with a strange magical object, Ilya comes face to face with a terrifying truth about what it means to be a warrior in the first place.
