About the book: 2013 / The young Count Urquhart Royjo and his friends, having fulfilled the first order of the Imperial Union organization, did not rest long. There is war, blood, dirt, riots all around. The ancient empire, exhausted under the blows of the conquerors, requires skilled fighters. But the nobles who swore allegiance to the Anho family do not go to the front, but to the capital, where they will become the guards of the emperor, who is waging his war against the enemies of the state. The young sovereign needs a military force that is capable of curbing rebels, traitors, bandits and corrupt aristocrats from the highest imperial strata, and graduates of elite military lyceums become such a force. "For Anho and the Empire!" – the old cry of the Black Retinue guards sounds again, who are ready to give their lives for their ideals, and in their ranks is Count Urquhart, an island with the soul and mind of our contemporary from planet Earth.
