A new book from the author of the bestsellers “Prophetic Oleg” and “Princess Olga”! A fascinating novel about our distant ancestors, about the mighty roots of the Russian tribe, going deep into the depths of time, about the mysterious prehistory of Russia. The middle of the third millennium BC. Brothers Rus and Sloven are forced to take their clans away from the rule of their elder brother Khazar - to the north, beyond the Riphean Mountains, where the glacier once stopped, to look for their ancestral home - Hyperborea. 14 years of travel through dense forests inhabited by wild warlike tribes, 14 years of hardship and loss, despair and hope lead them to the shores of the holy lake, where the cities of Slovenesk (future Novgorod) and Rusa (now Staraya Russa) will be founded.
