About the book: 2018 / Southern Rus', the end of the 13th century. Kursk squads are running across the snowy steppe. The fast Tatar cavalry is on their heels. The young boyar Demyan remains to cover the retreating army, realizing that he will die. But, apparently, God wants the hero to remain alive, because Demyan has not yet met his Green-Eyed, did not get the prince a bride and did not save the Voronozh outpost, lost between the forest and the steppe. Based on the chronicle story “About the Ruin of the Kursk Land”. Design and drawings on the cover by the author.
