The novel is built on the cinematographic principle of the parallel narrative: it describes the persecution and destruction of members of the secret organization “Giorgi” in 1983 by State Security Committee (KGB) officers; on the other hand, there are tragicomic or dramatic episodes of seven ancestors of Papua Andronikashvili, and we see what happened to this noble Georgian family after Russian Empire invasion (1801) in Georgia.

Cleric brings his descendant the book he wrote himself—“The Chest of Mystery”—and tells him the ancestors’ order—to postpone the suicide until he finds The Knight at All Times.

Their conspirative activities – editing of the journal “Amirani,” preparation for spreading leaflets, and the secret meetings did not escape from the watchful eye of KGB, based on distrust and seeking the victims.

The loyal officials of expansionist policy of the orthodox Russia value the personal benefit and career more than the independence of the insulted country, so they guard and pursue the young people, who dream of freedom of their homeland, the KGB officers plan their arrest and enjoy the results of their gendarmes activities in advance.

In the vision of the dying Vache, who climbed on the eaves of the abandoned church and was shot by KGB snipers, seven descendants of great and incomparable warrior Mahkaz Andronikashvili merged into a single entity and fought the biblical dragon... Only after viewing the enchanting and fantastic carnival (where the Russian writers Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy demand Georgia to liberate Russia from colonial oppression (we are dealing with a situation typical of the carnival when the opposite is true), the reader finds himself the main character of the novel – yes, in the novel the reader is The Knight at All Times, who has to fight the biblical dragon – or to try to overcome the evil in his soul and if he can’t win, at least to weaken it.
