Volume 1:

In the era of Peter the Great's reforms, "Young Russia" boiled over even in slumbering Siberia. The nascent empire was crushing the voivode medievalism in the taiga. Peoples and faiths intermingled. Captive Swedes, Bukhara merchants, officers and officials, convicts, foreigners, chroniclers and architects, Chinese smugglers, fugitive schismatics, shamans, Orthodox missionaries and warlike steppe Dzungars - all of them together, feuding among themselves or saving each other, created the fate of Russian Asia.

Volume 2:

The bizarre threads of human destinies that stretched through the first book of the novel are now tied in knots. Tsar Peter's reforms have plowed over Siberia, and all those who "were called" to these free lands believe: are they "chosen" by Siberia? Fugitive schismatics erect their fiery Ship - but will the souls of those who cursed themselves on earth ascend to heaven? Russian regiments go for gold to the distant Asian city of Yarkend - but will they overcome the space of steppes and the resistance of Dzungarian hordes? The stubborn metropolitan makes his way to the sacred idol of foreigners through the resistance of taiga demons. Tobolsk architect by the secret signs of antiquity rescues from captivity the one whom he hates with all his heart. The all-powerful Siberian governor finds himself in the clutches of the sovereign, who must decide what is more important - his pride or the interest of the state? ...The stories of individual people are woven into the general history of the country. And the history of the country is driven by the force of the fierce struggle between the old and the new. And its profound energy is the tension of the eternal dispute between the Poet and the Tsar.
