The Bird That Drinks Tears: Hearts of the Nagas (Ukrainian Той птах, що п’є сльози. Серця наґів) is an epic fantasy rich in mythological depth and imaginative worldbuilding. Written by South Korean author Lee Yondo and translated by Юлія Ковальчук, the book introduces a world built on Korean mythic themes. Four races cohabit this realm: humans of the North, the mysterious serpent-folk Nagas, fire-spirits Dokkaebi who deceive with magical flames, and the towering Lekons—giants resembling roosters. In Hearts of the Nagas, three unlikely allies—a human swordsman, a Lekon warrior, and a fiery Dokkaebi—are drawn by prophecy to find a hidden Naga and restore balance. Over 544 pages, the narrative weaves adventure, political intrigue, prophecy, and the struggle of identity across races.
