A collection of exciting adventures from a modern-day person who has ended up in the past!
From a young PhD student in Saint Petersburg into the body of a distant ancestor—a ruler, Dovmont!
“Blow, wind! Make the trees rustle!”—under this curse Lithuanian priests of Pikuolis, the lord of death, bring bloody sacrifices to their master! Among those sacrificed on his black altar was Igor Ranchis, a young PhD student from Saint Petersburg who arrived in Lithuania to free his family from an ancient dynastic curse laid back in the thirteenth century by the Lithuanian prince Mindaugas…
With the roar of pagan drums, Igor’s soul took over the body of his far ancestor—Dovmont, a Lithuanian kunigass, a pagan ruler, a warrior… and a pious prince of Pskov, in baptism—Timothy.
And now, the earth trembles under the pounding of war horses at the walls of Rakovore! Battle trumpets blare, swords flash in hands. The mighty wind of war carries Dovmont’s harsh retinue against the crusaders’ ranks…
A treacherous enemy is defeated, yet the peace treaty conditions are not honored at all: secretly, detachments are sent to plunder Pskov lands—and it’s already clear that the traitor must be hunted… or traitors.
What’s more, the human-capturers have grown brazen, and another great disaster has come to Rus: Prince Andrey, having obtained from the Mongol khan a charter for the Great Vladimirian principality, goes to war against his older brother Dmitry…
