The Thirty Years’ War is still smoldering. France is severely exhausted. Relations sharply deteriorate among Poland, the Ottoman Empire and its vassal, the Crimean Khanate. In Ukraine, the first detachments of the Cossack liberation army are being formed. In Poland itself the struggle for the throne also intensifies. And now—no longer only in France, but also in Poland and Ukraine—people are counting on the sabres of experienced warriors who have won European fame.
In terms of plot, this novel continues “Knights of the Wild Field.”
