Set during the Livonian Crusades, it follows the mythical hero Lāčplēsis, whose superhuman strength derives from a secret source. When Baltic gods gather to protect Latvians from Christian crusaders, Lāčplēsis must battle monsters, giants, and treacherous enemies.

Knight in a climactic confrontation that will determine his people's fate. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
