Set in the post-apocalyptic Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation, much of the story takes place within a series of underground bunkers built by the Germans during the Second World War. A major part of this setting is the underground network of shelters, as well as the mysteries that Nazi Germany hid within their deepest reaches prior to losing this territory many years ago to the Soviet Union, during World War II.

Like many other books in the series, Heritage of the Ancestors is set in Russia.
