Lullaby for Minsk

In Minsk, there is Podmirye — a place where fairy tales, legends, and urban magic live. A young protective mage, Maxim, stands guard at the border between the mundane and the otherworldly. But after centuries of calm, an ancient evil awakens in the waters of the Minsk Svisloch, and it is he who must become the only one capable of stopping the deadly threat. What is he willing to do to save the city? Is he ready to sacrifice friendship? Magic? Or perhaps — even himself? The novel combines fantasy and urban mythology, addressing the history and spirit of Minsk as a living, animated space, where every street, bridge, and embankment holds its secrets and protective charms.
