Synopsis

An evil omen clouds the sky. A song of lore returns. A choice that can heal the world... or plunge it into ruin.
Voran can’t help but believe the rumors. As blight ravages the countryside and darkness covers the sun, the young warrior of Vasyllia hears of an ancient spirit that devours souls. He feels powerless to fight the oncoming devastation until a mythical creature entrusts him with a long-forgotten song. Legend has it that such a song can heal the masses, overthrow kingdoms, and raise humans to divine beings…
Armed with the power of the song, Voran must hunt down the dark spirit before it achieves its goal of immortality. His quest takes him through doorways to other worlds and puts him on a collision course with seductive nymphs and riddling giants. With each step of the journey, the strength of the villainous spirit grows, as does Voran’s fear that the only way to save his world… is to let it be destroyed.
The Song of the Sirin is an epic fantasy retelling of the Russian fairy tale Prince Ivan and the Grey Wolf. If you like complex characters, creative twists on mythology, and cinematic world-builind, then you’ll love Nicholas Kotar’s sweeping tale.

Before I delve into a review of this most excellent book, I would like to put my thoughts into context. I grew up on Tolkien and Lewis. By the time I was eight or nine, my father had ready The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and most if not all of The Chronicles of Narnia to my younger brothe......more

Goodreads review by Maria on February 01, 2018

How many Westerners have ever heard of a fantastic creature like a Sirin? I never heard of them until encountering this book. In The Song of the Sirin we are introduced to many strange creatures who populate Russian folklore, as well as the stories and culture surrounding these tales. The world of R......more

Goodreads review by Zoe on October 27, 2023

The Song of the Sirin is a wonderfully epic take on a Russian fairy tale. Nicholas Kotar writes a tale that goes beyond the magical land of Vasyllia and delves into the human heart. It not simply the tale of a quest, but of the struggle between good and evil in the human heart and the search for bea......more
