A paratrooper officer carries a wounded comrade out of battle. Saving his life, he gives blood. The father of the rescued front-line soldier calls him to himself and names him his son. The old man is the supreme shaman, the secrets of existence are subject to him. On the day of death, the shaman orders his sons, natural and adopted, to undergo initiation. In a mysterious ritual, young people gain access to the gigantic memory of a silicon “computer.” Having learned that humanity is the whim of a powerful civilization that calls itself “the system,” our heroes try to influence it. The system is playing a game with them. Having placed perfect knowledge in their hands, she allows them to travel through time and makes accessible a world that is lagging behind ours in time. The nature of this world has not yet been spoiled by civilization; people there believe in wise and powerful gods. The cruel morals of the Middle Ages led society to wars of conquest. The emergence of modern people is like a stone thrown into a stagnant pond. Realizing that neither the power of the “aliens” nor their wealth can be compared, the mysterious organization “Order of Saints” starts an intrigue with them. Meanness and deception, cunning and deceit are used. The life of an entire people is put at risk for the sake of a handful of people who seized power. Reader, you will touch on the painful points where our history could take a turn and humanity would take a different path. It may be a fantasy, but in it love is love, honor is defended with blood, and meanness boomerangs back to the one who created it.
