Private detective Andrei Serov—formerly a special forces soldier—through one of those tangled investigations finds himself... in the 18th century. After a journey of thousands of miles filled with dangers and adventures, Andrei becomes the captain of the pirate frigate “Voron” (“Raven”) and, at the same time, the Marquis André de Serr. But the sparkle of gold, the adrenaline of raids and boarding actions never turned into the meaning of his life. He wants to bring his frigate to Russia and serve Tsar Peter, who in his war with the Swedes desperately needs experienced seamen. However, getting from the West Indies to the Baltic isn’t easy. The very first storm near the Canaries ruins all his plans. And an attack on the “Voron” by Maghribi pirates—masters of the Western Atlantic and the Mediterranean—forces him to postpone the northern expedition altogether: his faithful comrades and the lovely wife of Andrei Sheila end up captured. They must be freed at any cost!
