Not to be killed in a duel. To find the lair of the Brethren of Shadows, who won’t give up trying to correct their mistake and burn the boyar Konstantin. Not to die during the breakthrough of darkness. To launch production of various household devices that nobody in this world has thought of yet. To find a way to reach the Rysyev estate so that Lady Yulia can get her body back. These are the everyday duties of former private detective Konstantin Vorontsov, now a figure in the global chess game.
