A family saga—one of the most ambitious in Russian literature—delves into the destruction of human souls by passion and the thirst for power, set against the backdrop of the harsh Siberian taiga. The plot is based on the true biographies of gold-mining merchants, and the author himself traversed the taiga on dozens of expeditions, from the Ob to the Lower Tunguska, and described it without embellishment.

Volume 1
The wealth that befalls the Gromov family sets off a chain of fateful events. While his father carouses and courts the beautiful Anfisa, his son Prokhor sets off into the taiga to seek new trade routes and test his mettle. Young and ambitious, he dreams of building an empire. But the higher his rise, the greater his fall. Will he be able to resist temptation, or will the taiga... consume his soul?

Volume 2
Dreams come true: Prokhor has become rich and influential. But the higher he rises, the deeper he sinks into his own vices. The secrets of the past, ruined destinies, and inner fear—will all this lead to tragedy?
