Suspense, humor, and a vivid journey through Ruthenia.

Follow a traveler and his companion as they meet a gifted shepherd whose tall tale unfolds amid rain, race, and a village drama that tests loyalties and loves.

Two short chapters drift from a lively roadside encounter into a broad portrait of Ruthenian forests, aging traditions, and a landscape where old beliefs meet new loyalties. The narrative blends sharp dialogue, memorable characters, and quiet reflections on justice, fate, and the human heart.

A dramatic village story told by a colorful shepherd, full of action and humor
Vivid scenes of weather, terrain, and rustic life that ground the journey
Moments of philosophy and humor as characters debate fate, love, and justice
A window into Ruthenian culture and the shifting powers in a historic region

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven tales set against a richly drawn landscape, with thoughtful humor and moral questions woven through the plot.
