Shouldering the burden of an immense state, be ready for the fact that this load will be heavy. If you want to make the realm strong and mighty, be prepared for the whole world to rise against your Homeland. And then there will be everything: intrigues, conspiracies, blood, filth, and wars. And only you decide whether you’ll be frightened and turn off the chosen path—or, like a bulldog, seize your enemy by the throat and don’t let go until it begs for mercy or gives up its spirit.
Peter the Second, young Emperor of Russia, has made his choice. He is ready to go through this difficult path to the end. And woe to whoever decides to stand in his way. Because to achieve his goal he won’t stop at anything.
