Alexander Bushkov removes the secrecy stamp from the archival files of the Special Expedition. This deeply conspiratorial service of the III Division of his own Imperial Majesty Nicholas I Chancellery was engaged in the study of strange, amazing and inexplicable incidents. But what is the most piquant in the new novel is the main character - Alexander Pushkin. The poet acts as an agent of the Union of Three Black Eagles, a secret community that has set itself the goal of countering black magic, unclean power and demeanor.
