Orphans. Patricides

Sharka chose her side: now the last kyengargar in the world fights on the side of the Orphans. Their hetman, Yan Hroust, knows no defeats, exhaustion, or doubts—he is ready to betray fire and sword everything he has, all for his revenge. The kingdom is sinking deeper and deeper into the hell of a fratricidal war. But was that what Svortek wanted when he passed the Gift to a village commoner—or did he have his own plan? And are the True King, the Prince of the Orphans, and the first student of the kyengargar ready to play by the rules of their “fathers”? Sharka must figure out who is friend and who is enemy—and stand up again to defend the disadvantaged and the lost, just like she herself. Because in war there are no winners.

A continuation of Maria Voy’s novel “Orphanettes” (Сиротки). Dark fantasy, ambiguous heroes, world-reworking, and a grim picture of war where real heroes are forged and true villains reveal themselves. Together with the heroes, the reader will have to understand where the world—wrapped in malice and hatred—is going, acknowledge the mistakes of the past, and accept that for the most important things in life we pay with pieces of our souls. Stylish design of the dilogy by Maria Voy. The edition is supplemented with illustrations inside. The cycle was highly appreciated by the writer and litagency Una Hart, as well as bloggers Polina Pars and “Trashy Enot”.
