"…you will see for yourself how our Russian reality, which no one has yet depicted, will begin to sparkle before your eyes. How its poetic truth will draw you in, to the very marrow of your bones, how you'll start trying to grasp it and with all the passion of love transfer it onto canvas."

Werewolf
Faelan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to gather the nerve to knock on the door to Carina’s guest room.
