We’ll be discussing the historical fantasy Arcane of Wolves, Book 1 by Pavlo Derevianko—a dark, strange tale with elements of steampunk and alternate history.

SYNOPSIS:

"1845, the lands of the Ukrainian Hetmanate, an independent state since the time of Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Young Severyn Chornovovk steps onto the wolf’s path and prepares to become a kharakternyk and join the Gray Order. He is one who follows the call of his heart, and for now he dreams of earning a golden clasp cast in the shape of the kharakternyk Mamai and surviving the Transformation—one of the Order’s greatest mysteries. Ahead of him lie his first trials, new brothers-in-arms, first love and disappointment, his first true missions, and the tests of fate...

All of this unfolds on the boundary between two worlds—the real and the otherworldly, on the edge of two natures—human and wolf.

Who will prevail in this struggle? What price must be paid by one with a fiery heart, bound by duty and vows sealed in blood? The wild, mystical, and powerful arcane of wolves has begun!"
