In our world, Anatoly Lanskoy was a rich “golden youth” (a major), the son of an influential and wealthy man. A monstrous misunderstanding led him to end up in another world—one that is very similar to ours, with only a small exception: here, the Russian Empire still exists, and influential aristocratic families hold magic.
But now an accusation of murder hangs over Lanskoy—an accusation he didn’t commit—and as punishment he faces a long prison sentence. The only way to be free again is to become a soldier of the famous battalion of suicide troops and to protect the empire, with his chest, from the terrible offspring of the mysterious “Object-13.”
