Blood and Ashes

From time immemorial, the Russian Land has been sustained not by the stone shoulders of mythical Atlases, but by the shoulders of Russian women.

What is capable of our modern-day woman, thrown into the infernal hell of the year 1237 during the brutal winter of Batu’s invasion? What will she choose: run back to the “bright future,” or stand shoulder to shoulder with her ancestors—so as to drink from the same shared cup? Will she climb the wall of doomed Ryazan? Won’t she flinch when she washes in blood in the merciless slaughter? Can she correct the past, prevent catastrophe, and undo the Mongol Yoke?

Will she hold the Russian Land on her fragile shoulders—or will it collapse under the unbearable weight of grief, blood, and ash?
