1815 As a result of the revolution in Mexico, the Russian-American colonies are threatened with war. Two envoys are sent to California - from Madrid and St. Petersburg. Each of them carries secret directives that can prevent the growing conflict. But third forces intervene and the crown messengers are in mortal danger at every turn. “Fatum” continues the tradition of good old novels, incredibly eventful, geographically sweeping travel, and a kaleidoscope of colorful characters. Contains obscene language.
