This book is about love. It doesn’t contain a single word starting with “lov...”, but it is about love. About magic — not the clichéd kind from TV screens, but real magic, rooted and ancestral, when you dive headfirst into the Ancient Ocean and emerge with a fish in your teeth. And also about courage. About the unconditional courage to find what is yours, recognize it, hold onto it with hands and feet, and never let it go. Your home, your homeland, your heart, your right to walk with your head held high.
The events of the novel unfold in spring–summer of 2014 in Donetsk. Donbas is a point of reset, a place of power, where the most important questions were asked. And only there are the answers hidden. Where everything began, everything will end — when history completes another cycle and the eternal serpent Ouroboros bites its tail once again. It is here that the heroine lost her family, home, job, and illusions — and it is here that she gathered the fragments of her life anew, found new meaning and new strength. Step by step, the reader witnesses the transformation — the rebirth of a peaceful soul into a warrior. This book forever changed the one who wrote it — and will change everyone who reads it. Because war is when you eat the earth. And more importantly, when you feed others with it.
