Winter, 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte has ammased his forces and is on the
brink of invading Russia. Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Yaroslav is been
entrusted with the grave responsibility of defending the borders of
Moscow. He concocts a strategy to push the First French Empire beyond
the shadows of the Russian borders. Alas, fate, as is always the case,
intervenes and manueveres the wheels of fortune hither and thither. What
ensues was a dramatic shift in the lives of the French, for the Russian
empire, and for Vladimir Yaroslav.
