Fresh from her adventures in the Ogre Kingdoms, wild-girl Katerina is still trying to get used to life in normal society. Her 'saviours', Florin and Lorenzo, are enjoying their ill-gotten gains and seem unconcerned that local crimeboss Mordicio still has his eye on her. With the untimely and suspicious death of her husband Sergei, however, Katerina reverts to her savage ways and with Florin and Lorenzo in tow, sets out to tear the town of Bordelaux apart in her quest for vengeance.
