“And no matter what century you live in, you can’t escape love.” And even more so if this is a century of palace coups! Two magnificent courtiers rise on the crest of a wave of grandiose intrigues and accomplishments of the gallant 18th century. Unexpectedly for himself, Johann Buren finds himself at the top, later going down in history as the gloomy villain Biron, the favorite of the empress. And Rene Löwenvold, an adventurer, a dark man in an aura of scandalous rumors, a favorite of two Russian queens and many princesses. Both have achieved a lot. However, any money, any fame, even life itself is nothing when two hurricanes collide in a long-term love affair... And the duel between gold and steel begins!
