Description

In a modern alternate reality on the Eurasian continent, there is a vast state of Ordus stretching from the Baltic to the Yellow Sea. It’s a multiethnic, multiconfessional country where modern technology and the achievements of civilization harmoniously coexist with ancient traditions, conservative customs, and a unique language. Despite the overall order, rash crimes sometimes occur that require careful investigation.

The events unfold in the magnificent Alexandria Nevskaya, the northern capital of Ordus, located on the banks of the powerful Neva-he River. From the patriarchate’s reliquary, a sacred relic is stolen—the pectoral cross of Saint Sisoios, enlightener of the Walloons. An experienced investigator, Bagatur Lobo, and a scholar-jurist, Bogdan Rukhovich Ouyanqev-Syu, are appointed to handle the case. Although previously they hadn’t worked together, now they must join forces to uncover the crime. However, their collaboration begins with difficulties and misunderstandings.

This thrilling detective story enriched with a vivid description of Ordus culture and customs will keep you engaged from the very first page.
