"Opium Throne: Empire on a High" is a historical saga set in the 19th century—an era of trade empires, wars for influence, and the collapse of the old world. Against the backdrop of real events—from the Napoleonic Wars to the Opium Conflicts in China—unfolds a fierce struggle for power, resources, and control over the minds of entire nations. At the heart of the story are several great powers: France, Great Britain, China, Russia, and the United States. Each strives for global dominance. But the true symbol of this clash becomes China—a nation everyone seeks to conquer, divide, and exploit… until it begins to fight back. The plot unfolds through dozens of characters: soldiers, merchants, officials, and ordinary people. Their lives intertwine in a struggle for survival, influence, and a place in a rapidly changing world. Through letters, battles, conspiracies, and deals, the reader witnesses the foundation of the modern global order being laid. This is a story about power, addiction, betrayal, and historical memory. About how the events of the past continue to shape the present.
