It’s been five years since a cosmic incident known as The Ring of Fire transported the modern day town of Grantville, West Virginia, through time and space to 17th century Europe. The course of world history has been forever altered. And Mother Russia is no exception. Inspired by the American up-timers, Russian serfs are rebelling. Meanwhile, Czar Mikhail has escaped house arrest and is making his way by dirigible to the village of Ufa. There he intends to set up a government-in-exile. It is to Ufa that the serfs are heading, as well. The path is dangerous—for the serfs as well as the czar. But it could be that a new wind of liberty is about to blow three centuries early—and change Mother Russia forever.
