RUSSIA, 1865. In the country's largest prison, the "Palace" as it is commonly called, a prisoner born with a repulsive appearance, but endowed with terrifying physical strength, is serving his sentence. He was found there not for a crime he committed, but for the crime nature herself had committed in him. Within the Palace he will try to find his place and the way to survive.
In this battle he will be faced with many hardships, but above all with himself. He will discover the power of power and how much it corrupts man, he will face rejection, pain and injustice. All this, however, will lead him to rediscover lost feelings and values such as friendship, love, respect and generosity. Finally, he will discover justice. Not the one that is awarded in courtrooms, but the one that man himself renders when he feels that God is absent and the wrong goes unpunished... The retributive justice of revenge...

A book that is read in one go. It could very well become a movie script. I look forward to reading the author's next book.
