Thirteen Years Later. Jasper Kent445 руб
God would deliver him--would deliver Russia--and he would make Russia into the country that the Almighty wanted it to be. Aleksandr made a silent promise to the Lord. He would be delivered from the destruction that wasteth at noonday, and from the pestilence that walketh in darkness--the terror by night. 1825, Europe--and Russia--have been at peace for ten years. For Colonel Aleksei Ivanovich Danilov, life is peaceful. Bonaparte is long dead and the threat of invasion is no more. His duty is still to serve and to protect his tsar, Aleksandr the First, but now the enemy is human. Not only have the French been defeated but so have the twelve monstrous creatures he once fought alongside, and then against, ten or more years ago. Of course, he is aware of the uprising fermenting within the Russian army--among his supposedly loyal officers. However the Tsar knows that he can never be at peace. The Tsar has been reminded of a promise: a promise born of blood. No, what troubles him is something that threatens to bring damnation down upon him, his family and his country. Now the one who was betrayed by the Romanovs has returned to exact revenge for what has been denied him. a promise that was broken a hundred years before. For it seems the vile pestilence that once threatened all he believed in and all he held dear has returned, thirteen years later. And for Aleksei, knowing this chills his very soul. a promise that was broken a hundred years before
