Cossacks - Volume 1 - The Winged Hussar

The fierce Cossacks have long lived as a free people, but in the 17th century,
the king of Poland-Lithuania wants to end that freedom. A young deserter from
the hussars is caught in the nascent conflict. The first volume of a great
historical saga. 1634, Ukraine. Karlis, a young Winged Hussar of Poland-
Lithuania, sickened by the carnage of war, deserts. To wash their honour, the
men of his old unit hunt him mercilessly, while two people secretly observe
the pursuit. They are Cossacks, from a people of freedom-loving warriors … and
it is with them that Karlis will eventually find refuge. But if he left his
regiment, it’s also because of the last orders he was given, which he refused
to follow: the king of Poland-Lithuania wants the Cossacks disarmed …
