About the book: 2020 / January 1999. Katya meets a descendant of Russian emigrants, Michael, and it seems that the spark of sympathy that arises will flare up into the flame of true love. But it turns out that Michael is the great-grandson of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, and when creating a family, he is obliged to be guided by a sense of duty. Meanwhile, preparations are underway in Moscow for a battle for power. One of the contenders is the influential governor, General Deev. The slick consultants hired by the oligarch Olkhovsky provide him with weighty arguments that the family of Nicholas II was saved and, perhaps, the crowned heir is hiding somewhere. Deev is thinking about his liquidation. This is what two special agents of the secret service of one of the Western countries want. Acting in accordance with a secret centuries-old directive, they must find and destroy the direct heirs of the Romanov house. Soon, a poor old man is brutally murdered in the Russian outback. Unraveling this case, the investigator finds out that the old man suffered from Alexei Romanov's disease, and also finds a letter from the prince written in 1941, which takes us to 1918.
