A lively, light and at the same time deep novel about the events of the beginning of the 17th century - “In the fire of the smelter. Silver "- based on historical facts. These times are not often mentioned in the literature, as well as the whole history of the Commonwealth and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (which has very little in common with present-day Lithuania, a large and dominant part of the population were Ruthenians, ie ancestors of today's Ukrainians and Belarusians). The story of Samiil Koretsky, told by the author, is almost Dumas! The reader's attention is firmly held by the main battle, the main intrigue of the novel - the enmity of two incredible women, real princesses Anna Koretskaya and Sophia Ruzhinskaya. This battle is a purely cruel, medieval act: attacks, poisoning, destruction of entire villages and cities, contempt for justice and the supreme power. All this against the background of religious confrontation between Catholics, Orthodox, Uniates ... and not at all priestly passions.
