The Secret of Nine. The Ancient Komi Calendar

It all started with an ordinary school report. Sixth-graders are preparing presentations about culture and Komi mythology. And who would have thought that an ancient artisanal calendar would turn out to be not just part of history, but a portal... to another world. On the day of the spring equinox, during a game by the mysterious calendar in the center of the city, four classmates disappear. They are faced with a fierce blizzard, an ancient hunter, spirits, and the gods of northern legends. The kids must undergo trials, discover the power of their totems, and try to save the vanished Sun, captured by darkness. Legends come to life as Sveta, Lyosha, Mishka, and Boris venture into the heart of an ancient myth - on the skis of Voipelya, armed with the weapons of the gods and faith in each other. But every choice has a price, and even in a fairy tale, it is not always possible to save everyone. Myths become reality - one just has to believe. An exciting tale of friendship, choice, roots, and a language that connects generations. A story in which Komi culture is not just a background but the living heart of a magical world.
