Fish blood. Taganov E.I.

VIII century. The upper reaches of the Don, a deaf village in impenetrable forests. Young Darnik nicknamed Pisces Blood, having left his native dugout, goes into a great life. The first deadly fight, the first woman, the first understanding of how to control other people. An inquisitive mind and impudence help him not only become a governor who does not know defeats, but also to swing into his own principality in the Russian Kaganate. In a word, to become a man who made himself, but only in the realities of the dark centuries.

This book is an attempt to artistic reconstruction of the early history of the Eastern Slavs, as well as the Russian Kaganate-the state, which may have existed on the Middle Don and the Seversky Donce in the VIII-IX centuries in the neighborhood of Khazaria and in the 9th century was Destroyed by the invasion of Ugrov-Majar.
