Сирма

Summary:

Sirma has it all – a peaceful home, loving parents and good friends. But her life changes forever when she loses her two dearest friends to a gang of robbers. The village leaders are afraid to stand up to injustice and let the case go unpunished. They ask Sirma to keep quiet and swallow the pain, but she realizes that a smile and silence are not as useful as the outlaws’ guns. On St. George’s Day, eighteen-year-old Sirma dresses as a man and leads her own outlaw band, dedicated to protecting the mountain villages from the tyranny of Amza Bey and his thugs. But the path of the outlaw is harsh – deadly clashes with ferocious robbers, survival in the elements of the mountains, as well as the brutalization of her own band, are heavy burdens that she herself places on her shoulders. And her comrades-in-arms don’t even know that they are led by a woman.
