Polar Nowhere

A novel that won't let you go: unique magic, deep psychological insight, and frightening secrets. What are you willing to give for a cup of hot tea on the edge of the world? The tavern “Polar Nowhere” is the last flicker for those who are heading into the frightening and anomalous Boundlessness. A delicious dinner can be had here in exchange for any memory: a bright sadness, a burning rage, or a moment of blissful peace. But what if you have nothing to pay with? Nova is a girl without a past. There is not a single story or emotion in her memory. Breaking all the rules, the tavern owner Silas takes a desperate step. He creates a soul for Nova, pouring emotions from the lives of others into her drop by drop. However, the past does not want to be forgotten, and echoes of her terrifying secret rise from the depths of the girl’s consciousness. Why is Nova's memory erased? What dark and powerful force hides behind this emptiness? And what will remain of the manually gathered soul when it faces the nightmare of its present "self"?

Vladimir Lazovik is a writer who masterfully works at the intersection of genres: in his books, cozy fantasy meets primal folk horror, and psychological drama intersects with mysticism. The author's stories are quiet fires that are not lit to dispel the darkness, but to warm up and see another person nearby in its presence.
