“Knife-edge desire, nerves strung tight, fiery flashes of spirit…” These are the books of Sylvia Liam, a writer from the quiet snowy village of Krasnoznamensk, where she lives with her husband and two children. All around are the grey skies and dark forests that create the melancholy atmosphere in which her dark tales are born. Silvia’s worlds are inhabited by dark wizards and necromancers, the dead arises, phantoms scream and mysterious horsemen ride on scarlet-hooved steeds. True love alone, spiced with light peppery humor, is capable of enduring the trials of the darkest abyss of shadow. The cycle “Overlords of the Undead” by Silvia Liam became a bestseller in Russia and is now published in English translation. The first book “Do Not Awaken the Undead King” reveals the history of the most terrible necromancer of all time.
