The Eye of Winter 1 is released!
The Eye of Winter Arrives in English
We are excited to announce the release of The Unlikely Heir, the first volume of The Eye of Winter series by Vlad Vasylenko, now available in English.
What happens when a man from our world finds himself in an alternate Russian Empire where magic, ancient secrets, and supernatural forces shape everyday life? For Bogdan Vasilevsky, survival means learning the rules of a strange new reality—and mastering powers that could change his fate forever.
Inspired by Siberian folklore and the landscapes of the author's homeland, The Eye of Winter blends Progression Fantasy, urban fantasy, mystery, alternate history, steampunk, and horror into a unique and compelling adventure. Mystical creatures from northern legends, political intrigue, magical investigations, and relentless character growth come together in a world unlike any other.
Vlad Vasylenko, who grew up in a small Siberian town, has long wanted to bring elements of Siberia's rich folklore to an international audience. Rather than creating a traditional folkloric fantasy, he combined those influences with fast-paced storytelling, detective mysteries, and a vividly imagined magical empire inspired by the early twentieth century.
The result has become one of the author's most successful projects, earning enthusiastic reviews from readers and establishing itself as a standout series in the Progression Fantasy genre.
Now English-speaking readers can finally begin Bogdan's journey from the very beginning.
Step into a world of magic, mystery, and Siberian legends—and discover why so many readers have fallen in love with The Eye of Winter.
