Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms. The Beginning of the End

Yaroslav Zabolotnikov is an increasingly popular writer of classic epic fantasy. This genre isn’t common anymore, because it requires the world to be described in great detail, a multitude of characters, and the story and world to feel real and alive to the reader. The author of the presented cycle pulls it off one hundred percent.

The dark fantasy cycle “The Chronicles of Seven Kingdoms” tells of the return of magic into the world—magic that drives out the rule of brute force and fills the world with monsters. In a bleak forest, at the bottom of a deep chasm, the hero begins searching for ancient treasures. Better if he hadn’t done it—because four centuries ago the world was completely different, and it was never meant to be brought back…

In the second book of the cycle, brave travelers set foot on the lands of a mountain kingdom in search of the mystery behind the disappearance of magic. The peak of the living mountain is a dark place. Deep inside, the mountain keeps terrible ancient secrets. Who knows—could the pursuit of truth turn out to be a fatal mistake? Maybe the secret buried under dust of centuries should have stayed forever in oblivion? Listen to the continuation of the story in the audiobook.
