The Eye of Winter 2 is Out!
The Eye of Winter Deepens as Mimic Arrives
The chilling world of The Eye of Winter continues to unfold with the release of Mimic, the second novel in Vlad Vasylenko's captivating blend of historical progression fantasy, urban fantasy, and supernatural mystery.
After discovering that his late father's journals concealed secrets far greater than anyone imagined, Bogdan Vasilevsky sets his sights on the legendary frozen realm known as the Eye of Winter. To reach it, he enrolls at the Mining Institute in Tomsk, where prospectors are trained to seek emberite—a rare magical ore found only in the world's most dangerous wilderness.
But before he can chase the mysteries hidden beyond the ice, danger finds him first.
A series of brutal murders has plunged the city into fear. The authorities believe the killer is no ordinary criminal, and a legendary monster hunter has been summoned from the capital to uncover the truth. For Bogdan, that investigation couldn't come at a worse time. He carries a forbidden Gift of his own, and attracting the hunter's attention could prove just as deadly as the creature stalking the streets.
Drawing inspiration from the authentic folklore of Siberia's indigenous peoples, The Eye of Winter combines atmospheric historical fantasy, supernatural detective intrigue, and a steadily growing progression journey into a world unlike any other. While the first book introduced readers to Bogdan's extraordinary destiny, Mimic raises the stakes with deeper mysteries, deadlier enemies, and a story that is only beginning to reveal its true scope.
The response to Unlikely Heir, the series opener, has already shown that readers are eager to explore this unique setting. With dozens of Amazon ratings and enthusiastic early reviews, the series has quickly begun building a loyal audience—and there's even more to come. The first five books have already been written, with future English releases arriving regularly.
If you're looking for a fantasy series filled with folklore, mystery, dangerous magic, and unforgettable frozen landscapes, now is the perfect time to step into The Eye of Winter.
The adventure continues with Mimic.
