About the Author: Roman Surzhikov is ranked among the top 10 most highly rated authors on Fantlab.org, the most respected post-Soviet platform dedicated to science fiction and fantasy. Four out of six books in the Polaris cycle have been awarded Book of the Year based on reader votes.

Arrow, Coin, Spark was first published in 2016 in Ukraine and has since gone through several reprints in the original language. It is the opening book of the six-volume Polaris fantasy series.

The novel captivates with its unique world, where the late medieval era (knights, swords, and spears) meets the dawn of electricity (trains, spark-based weapons, early telegraphs). At the heart of the Polaris world is a mystery: the Sacred Artifacts sent by the gods to humans every century. Their true nature is unknown, and the secret of their use has long been lost.

One of the novel's greatest strengths is its richly developed characters. They come alive with vivid, strong personalities, and following their journeys across the series is a compelling experience.

The story is sprinkled with intriguing mysteries -- political, detective, and religious in nature. The heroes' lives depend on their intellect and ability to find the right answers, while the political intrigues they become involved in soon escalate into a dramatic and spectacular war.

In short, the series is recommended for readers who enjoy deep, well-rounded characters, richly detailed worlds, large-scale mysteries, intrigue, and adventure.
