Sovereigns of Moscow: The Youngest Son

“Muscovite Rulers” is a cycle of novels written by Dmitry Balashov. This epic novel-epopee covers the period of Russian history from 1263 to 1425 and continues to amaze readers with its depth, scale, and masterful language stylization. The novels of the cycle form a kind of chronicle, describing historical events, daily life, and the customs of various social classes, as well as the destinies and characters of many historical figures. For example, they tell how Prince Alexander Nevsky secured the Vladimir golden table from the Tatars, as well as about the life of his younger son, the first Moscow prince Daniil Alexandrovich.
