Warunek

The palace of the Rohatyński princes at Arancewo, late 1812. Blind chance ties together two of Napoleon's soldiers: Count Andrzej Rangułt, a young god of war, the Grand Army's greatest cavalryman and the emperor's favourite, and Lieutenant Semen Hoszowski, a priest's son, educated but coarse. They dislike each other from the start, yet must make a deadly winter journey across Russia to Rangułt's home in Lithuania, knowing that the death of one means the end of both. Insults, a duel, a daring theft, a flight, a fortune and an unexpected love follow.
