Arrow, Coin, Spark (2016)
Arrow, Coin, Spark — the first book in Ukrainian writer Roman Surzhykov’s Polaris Cycle, first time translated and published.
The world of Arrow, Coin, Spark is a fantastical Middle Ages where railways link feudal castles, swords and crossbows stand alongside trains and telegraphs, and knightly oaths crackle with electric sparks.
Mysterious Sacred Objects can shatter enemies, alter flesh, and grant superhuman powers, yet none can truly master them.
Three fates, three paths.
Lord Erwin, a Northerner sent to the Outland to uncover a terrifying truth about the world — and himself
Harmon Paula, a merchant and rogue, becomes the bearer of an artifact hunted by armies
Minerva, a girl from the margins drawn into a perilous game for the Imperial throne
The Great Houses scheme, the Emperor prepares a new era of progress, and a spark once kindled may ignite a wildfire.
