The protagonist of the novel, Hryhorii Trembetskyi, a knight and merchant, at the suggestion of the tsar's son and fugitive John of Shuiskyi, seeks to obtain "the greatest treasure of Muscovy", which Tsar Ivan IV the Fierce hid somewhere on the Volga banks, newly conquered and untamed, and he and his comrades find that sworn place through incredible efforts, sacrifices and humiliations, but do not find the treasure. Thus, the heroes find only deception in a foreign land. The novel is full of deep reflections on the fate of Ukraine and its future.
