Our countryman, a former aerial gymnast, with his mind and sword conquered a high position in ancient Japan. But like Icarus once, he flew too high, and there were people who wanted to shorten his wings. Artyom lost the main fight. Saving himself and the people loyal to him, he agreed to a prestigious exile. He had to go to Russian lands as head of an imperial embassy. The journey is long; it runs through many countries, across thousands of kilometers of water and land. Artyom doesn’t know what awaits him on this road, but an easy stroll is out of the question. Besides, enemies who remained in Yamato are ready to do everything so that the embassy disappears somewhere along the way. In short, survival chances are slim. But with him are samurai swords, knowledge, resourcefulness, and courage. He can try to break through.
