Plot[edit]
The construction of the Moscow metro turns into an unexpected find: an old book cover is pulled out from under the rubble. Its main value is by no means in gold and precious stones, with which it is generously decorated, but in the message encrypted in its drawings and inscriptions. The artifact proves that the legendary library of Ivan the Terrible also known as Liberea exists, and the map showing the way to it is right in front of you. However, the extraordinary find is forgotten for many years.
Dozens of years later, the book cover ends up in the hands of the unlucky young man Ilya Arshinov. The guy does not even suspect what he became the owner of. Powerful forces begin to hunt for Ilya Arshinov. To save himself, he has to team up with his estranged father who knows exactly how to handle the old book cover, and a philologist Arina, who is able to decipher the artifact's ciphers. Now this trinity, without looking back, embarks on a dangerous adventure in order to uncover the secret of the legendary Liberea once and for all. They will visit the most dangerous and mysterious corners of the country: from Vologda and Naryan-Mar to the Kremlin dungeons.[5]
