About the book: 2009 / The Chief of the Separate Secret Chancellery could not even imagine that fulfilling the personal request of the former chancellor would lead to the discovery of a conspiracy against the Emperor, and then to the anti-terrorist operation. All that was needed was to find and prepare a double of a socialite to participate in the New Year's celebration. This is how the adventures of a young provincial actress, an equally young provincial bourgeois woman and a student at the Polytechnic School in the Capital of the Empire began among aristocrats, sorcerers and secret intelligence services against the backdrop of scenery roughly corresponding to the end of the European 18th century.
