Semyon Orlov and Pyotr Burmistrov do not yet suspect that the coming battle will divide their fates forever into “before” and “after.”

Blood and the ringing of sabers, betrayal and the price of loyalty, the coming-of-age of a warrior—everything will converge in one of the bitterest battles in Russian history.

1659… The war for Малороссиya has already been going on for the fifth year. Muscovite forces have repeatedly beaten the Poles and restored ancient Rus’ lands taken by the Lyakhs. But after the death of Khmelnytsky, the Hetman’s baton passed to Vyhovsky—a man dreaming of his own “Russian principality.” The tsar’s army sets out against the traitor, but Vyhovsky managed to swear allegiance not only to the Poles, but also to the Crimean khan… And when Prince Trubetskoy met him near Konotop, the enemy brought the entire Crimean horde with him!

It is in the Battle of Konotop that reiters Semyon Orlov and the boyar’s son Pyotr Burmistrov take their first fight. This battle will become a turning point for them—after which there will be no going back to their former lives…
