The second book in the “Liar on the Throne” series. Is it enough to sit on the royal chair and call yourself emperor? For their own ego, yes, but the neighbors, Sweden, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Crimea, and not only, have already sensed that the bear is wounded and there is an opportunity to deprive him of his skin. Will the formidable owner of the forest have time to lick at least some of his wounds and brush off other predators with his powerful paw? In the forest, only the strong are respected, and a person who, by the will of fate, ended up in the body of False Dmitry, will not stop at blood, if it saves more lives. Is it true that in order for the body to improve its health, it is necessary to let out old blood? Is this how they were treated in the 17th century?
