An average soldier is caught up in the cogs of an inhuman war machine during the First World War.

Arriving in Moscow, the young, energetic provincial woman quickly joins the circle of booksellers. Having charmed her boss, Svetik got a job in the antiquarian literature department. But soon she herself fell in love, and the gullible bibliomaniac becomes the master of her unspent energy.

The story begins with the good, but poor Potter, who once finds Flint, a magical artifact that makes its owner rich, but instead sends a death curse. Potter can be saved only by the dedication of the main character - a girl named Twinkle.
