About the book: 2021 / Russian Empire, ancient noble families wielding power that is akin to magic, balls, champagne and the crunch of French bread... There are two of them. One is young, and the other is almost old. One was born in this world, the other came to it from very far away. One is driven by revenge, and the other by paternal duty. Perhaps these two are destined to change the whole world. Or perhaps not. One of them is a terrorist. And the second is his own clan.
