The Steppe God — Yevhen Lir

The Steppe God is a haunting and lyrical fantasy novel by Yevhen Lir set amidst the boundless steppes near the Azov Sea. A young man named Serhiy, immersed in city subculture, is drawn into a mysterious realm when a chance acquaintance opens new portals of awareness. Somewhere between wind-scoured stones and shadows beyond perception lies the “Great Nothing,” an ancient power with countless names and forms. As Serhiy confronts hidden forces, his perception of humanity, fate, and the self is irrevocably altered.

Blending elements of myth, speculative symbolism, and existential mystery, this 240-page novel invites readers to question the nature of power, legacy, and the invisible threads binding spirit and land.
