The year is 1714. In Europe, the contours of the revived Roman Empire in the form of the alliance of the Habsburgs and Bourbons are becoming increasingly clear. Russia's clash with this titan occurs almost everywhere with a mass of proxy wars. Out of habit, they are trying to “put Russia in its place,” driving it “under the bench.” But she doesn’t fit in there. Even if I wanted to, it won’t fit anymore. There’s sparks in the air. It smelled like ozone. The world is on the threshold of a Great War. Will the prince be able to “let off steam” and avoid a truly world war without losing or losing Russia’s position? This is the final volume of the series.
