Book 1 The Crow Cycle #1

Important note: The Crow Cycle is set in the world of Waldyra, its events echoing the story of Clan Dominance: The Sleepless Ones, a cult LitRPG series by the same author. Nonetheless, The Crow Cycle has a completely standalone plot. Each series is connected to the main storyline and shows certain characters from different points of view, revealing information about their past or explaining the background of events already known to the reader from earlier series.

The world of Waldyra treats its inhabitants differently. Some of them, appearing out of nowhere, suddenly receive unique achievements and quests; they become living legends and idols while basking in the limelight.

And there are those who call Waldyra home. They do not play, but rather live in this colorful magic world. They do not get anything unique or legendary in return.
Perhaps they are just unlucky?

Or maybe they don’t need the hype, and they are content with their simple existence?
Or could there be something special about a peaceful and well-planned life? Who knows… As the old saying goes, “Only time will tell.”

At the foot of the foreboding Gray Peak lies a desolate valley. These are the backwoods of the world of Waldyra—they offer nothing valuable to players, who rarely visit as a result. Yet this is the very place where the calm and good-natured dwarf named Crow is headed. Straight after leaving the Crèche, he hopes to make a living there. This hero does not crave epic battles with monsters. Quite the contrary. He wants to be a merchant and develop his blacksmithing skills, while staying far away from fighting, long voyages, and clan squabbles. But, as it often happens, if you want peace, be ready for war…

Book 2 The Crow Cycle #2

How tough do you need to be to withstand life’s storms? What would you do, if everything that you’ve worked so long and hard to achieve comes crumbling down within an hour? Presumably, when this happens in life, it takes great effort to overcome despair—even if this life is virtual. For the dwarf named Crow, virtual life is no less important than reality. This is because the game holds great meaning, currently known only to the hero of the story, while the reader can only make guesses.

If all efforts to build a relationship with the government are blocked by the appearance of a new captain of the guard, who cannot stand players; if the previously deserted and lifeless plain by Gray Peak is suddenly invaded by hordes of orcs; if the weather has gotten so bad that it’s time to stop thinking of growing a business or building a homestead, and to focus on simply surviving instead, then the only thing left is to grit your teeth and continue to move towards your goal, while calmly and logically solving any encountered problems.

The story of the dwarf named Crow continues, while his secret has yet to be uncovered. Despite this, there is no shortage of adventures in his life.

Get ready for the second book of the cycle about the new hero of Dem Mikhailov’s Waldyra—now available in English!

The future is an uphill battle, filled with long hours of blacksmithing and digging, and lots of adventures and surprise encounters. Nobody knows what will happen next. For now, the outpost of Gray Peak continues to hold the fort, with no intention of surrendering to the enemy…
