This is Vela - an ordinary girl from a poor household in a Slavic town. She hasn't always been a "Kuker Warrior". In fact, in her town it is allowed only for men to be Kukers. What is a Kuker? Well,

a Kuker is a dancer that does different ritual dances that scare evil spirits away.

Evil spirits are not always ominous creatures of darkness with weird features. Contrariwise, evil spirits are all around us - they can be our closest friend, a relative, any person around us - any person's soul that has been trapped by evil, greediness, envy..

Imperator Pagan Strashni, ruler of the kingdom and the suburbs of Bela-Rada /the town in which Vela lives with her grandmother and herlittle brother Boril/ is the enemy Vela never thought she'd have - he is an enemy of the people and Vela is there for her people. But will her metal bell - The Chan, be enough to defeat him? Or is there another element that will wake up the true Kuker power in her?
