Khort woke in the middle of the night. He had dreamt of something bad, but the dream slipped away at once, leaving only unease and darkness behind. Khort looked around. All was quiet. The forest slept. The fire had almost burned out…

Long ago, when rivers knew no dams and steppes no borders, in the very heart of Europe, at the crossroads of empires and open country, a free nation of warriors was born. They were called Cossacks. This is the story of the first of them — of Khort, a young Cossack kharakternyk who came into this world to wake the others. And to remind us: we are still here. We remember who we are. And we are taking up the fight again.
Olha Navrotska's fantasy novel «Khort. The First Kharakternyk» tells of a warrior who never sought to be a hero, yet was forced to fight for what was his. A fantasy steeped in the Cossack spirit, in magic, and in the echo of a war that is still going on.
Every movement of his was precise and predatory. From the outside it looked like sorcery, like a rite, even a dance. This was his own way of fighting — quick, calm, spellbinding. It was for this that the Cossacks respected him, and feared him. In such moments Khort felt immortal, and that terrified his enemies.
