Maria Semenova - a Russian writer and a great master, a mythrapee who creates his worlds and describes them "with the accuracy of the ethnographer and the entertainment of the illusionist." Readers know and love her fantasy novels, and even the person who is not close to this genre has probably heard of the Wolfhound-a book that has aroused a huge interest in ancient Russian history. Perhaps this is the greatest merit of Maria Semenova, who, in addition to fantasy, wrote the popular science encyclopedia “We are Slavs!”, A number of historical novels, stories, essays and retelling pagan myths.

... they came from the sea, which they called the swan road. They were not scared by the great dangers and bloody battles, for those who fell in the battles will join in the heavenly valhalla, and the survivors would cover themselves with glory. These brave and cruel warriors of the north were stored by the harsh gods of Asa. They were helped by light alves and dark otones. Their souls were carried away from the battlefield of the golden -haired Valkyrie. They lived in war for the sake of war. And they called themselves - Vikings.
