Secrets of Charovodye. Book One

Welcome to the world of Charovod ye! Seven islands hold countless secrets: everything here is saturated with magical power, which can be controlled using living stones—charonites. Brave defenders riding winged dragon ches patrol the sky, and once-exiled horsemen suddenly return to take revenge for long-ago grievances.

Elda lives in a secluded castle and doesn’t even suspect what treasure she inherited from her mother—a phantom stone with three living sparks inside. Someone is doing their best to hide the truth from the girl, but loyal friends help Elda understand that the world around her is nothing like what she imagined.

She must face the exiled, open a window into another reality, survive betrayal by those close to her, and find the strength within herself to go on to the very end. Will Elda be able to revive the disappearing Order, solve all the mysteries, and understand who her real friends are—and who the traitors are?

Here is the first book in the “Charovod ye” series, created by Yuliya Ivanova together with the animator-artist Tatyana Petrovska.

The book is intended for middle-grade readers, as well as for everyone who flies in their dreams and dreams of magical worlds.
