The past holds many secrets, and some of them become a source of additional problems. One of these problems in the form of an ancient artifact has already led to a change of empress on the throne of the Russian Empire. Another puzzle known to Sergei still remains unresolved, teasing with its secrets, like a carrot in front of a donkey’s nose. But fate decided that one puzzle is certainly good, but two are even better. Where will the investigation of another mystery from the past lead our hero? Will he find the answer? And if he finds it, what will he do with the inheritance of the long-dead queen? And who said that he was the only one interested in the past? After all, the legends of bygone eras attract the attention of many people, and not all of them are worth meeting face to face. And the Gordeevs’ rivals are also not asleep, and in addition to obvious enemies, there will probably also be hidden ill-wishers who dream of clipping the wings of a clan that has soared too high, led by its Valkyrie.
