Spring 1410. Livonia is gathering its strength for the decisive clash with Poland and Lithuania. For Johann von der Zaicev—a thirteen-year-old baronling in whose body the spirit of a retired man from the Urals dwells—this is not just war. It’s a chance to change the course of the Battle of Grunwald.

The third book in the series is the largest and most brutal. The hero is no longer playing at being a local businessman. He forms a squad, arms it with handguns and pistols of his own design, and heads south to stand in the way of the Tatar cavalry. His goal: to prevent the fateful encirclement of the Crusaders. But history is a stubborn thing. Even with wolf pits, grapeshot, and knowledge of the future, one boy can’t bend the outcome of a great battle.

Against the backdrop of a bloody battle where tens of thousands of warriors clash, Johann’s personal drama unfolds. He loses friends, learns to kill coldly and methodically, and realizes that his intervention may cost the lives of everyone he’s trying to save. And in the darkest hour, when everything seems lost, he fires the only shot that can change everything.

“Baron von der Zaicev – 3” is a wild blend of historical action, black humor, and a popadantsy (time-travel) drama. There’s no victory fanfic here. There’s war, death, and a man who tries to remain human in a world where people are chopped to pieces for a scrap of land.
