A man from our time is torn out of a dying world and finds himself in another—only this time fate gives him a frail body and the contempt of society. The story takes place in Korea on the border with the Russian Empire. The hero will have to prove from scratch that he deserves to be called an aristocrat—in a foreign country with foreign customs and traditions. A new cycle; you can read it as a standalone work, or as a continuation of the cycle “The Fracture.”
