Gold and steel. Ermolovich E.

"And in what century you will not live, you will not get anywhere from love." And even more so, if this is a centenary of palace coups!

on the crest of the waves of grandiose intrigues and the accomplishments of the gallant XVIII century, two magnificent courtiers are lifted. Suddenly, Johann Buren, who later went down in history as a gloomy villain Biron, is the favorite of the empress, ends up at the top. And Rene Lyvenold, an adventurer, a dark man in a halo of scandalous rumors, a favorite of two Russian queens and many princesses. Both have achieved a lot. However, any money, any glory, even life itself - nothing when two hurricanes collide in many years of love intrigue...

and the duel between gold and steel begins!
