The enemy comes when you don't expect it. Where you wouldn't expect it. And there was nowhere to wait for help. No one knew that a threat was lurking at the very walls of the Kremlin, which had been waiting in the wings for two hundred years. The echo of the Last War threatens to result in the fall of the ancient fortress. The only harbinger of the coming catastrophe is the Kremlin seminarian Knizhnik. He tries to convey his concerns to those in power, but they don’t believe him. Moreover, he himself is under suspicion. The scribe runs. And by chance he finds himself in the very heart of a force that is about to erase his home - the Kremlin - from the map. What can a weak person do against inhuman power? Will your only friend, Siegfried, come to the rescue? What to do when you are a stranger among strangers?
