Faith and Power

An epic historical novel based on true events of the ninth century, where faith becomes a weapon and power is the ultimate trial for those who dare to change the course of history. Two capitals. Two rulers. One destiny that will divide the world. Knyaz Askold of Kyiv seeks to unite the Slavic lands and lead them toward a new faith-one that will redefine the meaning of strength, order, and the future itself.
In Novgorod, Rurik is forging a different world-a world ruled by the sword, conquest, and ruthless political ambition, where today's ally becomes tomorrow's betrayer. Between Kyiv and Novgorod, a struggle unfolds in which nothing is left to chance. Every decision brings the rivals closer to a confrontation that will shape the destiny of the lands that would one day become the heart of a great state.
Political intrigue, epic battles, clashing beliefs, and the deepest human passions intertwine in a sweeping story of an age being born-where every victory demands its price.
