About the book: 2017 / Seventeenth century. Wars are raging in Europe. Illegitimate royal sons are declared, rebellions break out, alliances and dynastic marriages are formed. Poison, bribery, intrigue... Everything is used. Whose skillful hand directs events? Who is she, the one who stands behind the throne of the Russian sovereign Alexei Alekseevich? A damned princess, a grise eminence, God's providence, or just a loving woman who hopes to wait until her brother and husband return from the war, protect the country and glorify Rus'? Time will tell. In the meantime, Princess Sophia, or rather, the one who has been living and ruling under her guise for the second decade, is using the Russian knowledge of the twenty-first century for the benefit of the state and will definitely survive!
