Podeykuyut′, scho tiyeyi strashnoyi nochi, koly vona narodylasya, nebo triskotilo vid blyskavok - to maty-vid′ma peredavala don′tsi lychi vminnya. Melasya ne viryla chutkam. Ta yiyi nadzvychayna syla probudylasya toho chornoho dnya, koly divchyna zaznala naruhy pychatoho y zhorstokoho moskovs′koho boyaryna Dmytra Tryebnikova. Melasya perezhyvaye strashne prynyzhennya, i yiyi svitlu yunu dushu pohlynaye temryava. Same todi divchyna nareshti navazhuyet′sya skorystatysya svoyimy zdibnostyamy... Istoriya bolyu ta prynyzhennya, kochannya ta viry. Istoriya zhinky, kotra prahnula vyboroty volyu dlya ridnoyi zemli.
