When Artem Novikov inherits a locked casket from a distant relative in 1979, he does not yet suspect that his fate is now firmly bound to Genghis Khan. A silvery figurine taken from the casket will force Artem to part with his loved ones, change his character, throw him into the fiery hell of the Afghan war, and show how an impoverished Mongolian orphan doomed to death became the Ruler of the Universe. The power of Genghis Khan slumbers, but the fatal day is approaching when it will tear apart the bonds of merciless time and return to the world.
