"The sunset of my life is approaching fast. Thus, it is time to write the history of Polania and its greatest hero, Bonecrusher, their fall... and the truth of how I led to it." This is how the “Polania Chronicle'' begins. Written by an old monk, this tells the story of Bonecrusher, the shoemaker Twiney, Princess Wanda and King Krak. This is a Slavic fantasy, full of monsters, romance and humour. In short: what if Asterix had met Sláine.
