How did it happen that an inveterate atheist ended up in the Russian kingdom during the times of Ivan the Terrible, but in a parallel world where people have the power of magic? Not only did he get caught, but he also ended up in the service of a church order that fights evil spirits hostile to man. Is this the providence of God or an anomaly of physical laws? You will have to look for answers not in the quiet of offices or in seminar debates, but in confrontation with ancient forces seeking to regain their former influence over the human race.
