About the book: 2014 / 1758, the Seven Years' War is in full swing. Russia moved its troops against the Prussian king Frederick II. Tragic circumstances force Artemy, the adopted son of Prince Proskurov, to enlist in military service in an infantry regiment. The soldiers consider the young sergeant to be a desperate brave man and do not at all suspect that the prince’s son is driven by one dream - to die on the battlefield. The mysterious Count of Saint-Germain, who easily travels from court to court throughout Europe and is part of the circle of close people of the Princess of Anhalt-Zerbst, takes Artemia under his protection.
