Cognata

Aleksey Salnikov (b. 1978) is the author of the novels "Petrovs in the Flu and Around It," "Department," "Indirectly," and "Occulttrigger," as well as several poetry collections. He is a laureate of the "Big Book" and "National Bestseller" awards, and... a finalist for the "NOS" award. "Cognata" is a new book by Aleksey Salnikov about people and dragons. Konstantin Konstantinovich Konstantinov is bored with paperwork in the state security organs. Suddenly, he receives an important assignment: to deliver the dragon girl Cognata to the dragon empire. Konstantin is not so simple: he is a combat veteran, but the young dragoness is not ordinary either — she is a true aristocrat. Their meeting could change both the world of humans and the world of dragons — but for now, no one suspects this.
