About the book: year / Two worlds of past and future intertwined for Euphrosyne in an openwork lace of events. Who is she? Scientist or folklore element from children's fairy tales? A prosperous member of the family unit or a lover with many years of experience? Fighter or passive observer? Can a woman from the twenty-second century survive in the thirteenth? Without a smartphone full of information, without medical care, without laws protecting her from head to toe? Will a person who sees vegetables only on the shelves of a supermarket, and does nothing about the house except give voice orders to a smart home, manage to establish life in a hut in the middle of a forest? And in the princely mansion? I warn you right away, there will be no: magic; mystics; history changes; invention of gunpowder; seduction of Batu; unification of Russian Lands; vanilla love, powerful heroes, sensitive, trembling heroines and other ugliness. Author's notes: Here is a book, the idea of which was born early on Sunday morning and took shape immediately from start to finish, so I decided to “be a good fairy tale.” And then something went wrong. The passing hero became the main one, and Baba Yaga became a princess. The future decided to become an independent part, and not an interlude between chapters. The novel has clear references to dates and geography: in the past this is the beginning of the 13th century and the territory of the Murom principality and the lands bordering it (there is a map in the additional materials), in the future - Moscow at the end of the 22nd century. In this regard, I tried to squeeze the maximum out of my knowledge of history, culture and sociology. Nevertheless, the main goal is still to create a fairy tale for adults. Precisely the one that lies with a hint. Therefore, enjoy reading! For the cover, the work of Alexander Prostev “Saint Fevronia” was used, designer - Oleksandr Panchenko.
