Glyaden

"Glyaden" — a historical drama in which ancient magic permeates the harsh reality of the Urals in the 17th century.
The Porechensky Ostyak Rusai and his son Bolyak sail to the Glyaden sanctuary to ask for protection for their lands. But... the pilgrimage turns into a series of deadly trials — they are beset by mystical beings, shamanic intrigues, cruel rituals, and battles with nomads. Overcoming curses and temptations, the heroes inadvertently change the fate of the entire Porechye.
The novel captivates with its original folklore of the indigenous peoples, detailed reconstruction of pagan rites, and a tense plot. The connection to history gives the novel a special depth: the image of the boy Bolyak is inspired by the fate of the ore hunter Bolyak Rusaev — one of the iconic, but now forgotten figures, whose work contributed to the development of the Ural's riches and its transformation into the "Support Region of the State".

1. Immersion in the unique world of folklore and rites of the indigenous peoples of the Urals, masterfully reconstructed based on historical and ethnographic materials.
2. A powerful story of coming of age and maturity, where physical hardships and mystical temptations forge the spirit and define the character of the hero, whose fate influenced the history of Russian Ural.
3. Prose that combines the epic power of storytelling, the precision of historical chronicle, and the dynamics of an adventure novel — for connoisseurs of "great" literature with a captivating plot.
