Abstract of the book "Guardians of the Second Upper Border"
There is a world where only mages can live. They can live there forever — as long as they’re not eaten, killed, or don’t accidentally fall into some unknown abyss. There’s a city in the mountains that must be defended — from demons, strange creatures, and people who crave power, control, and who-knows-what-else. And there is a man — a stranger, really — brought to this city after his own, in another world, was destroyed. But this city in the valley has become dear to him. And its people — even dearer. For them, he’ll take risks, make foolish decisions and heroic ones alike… and for all that, he’ll be punished. Or perhaps… rewarded

tetiana-gurkalo09.12.2025, 19:44Larisa Chelter, I think I convinced him, it's hard for him to say no))
lazar22.10.2025, 16:39Great, looking forward to the second part

golosove-ctivo04.09.2024, 15:13Hello! My name is Anastasiia, and I do audiobook narration. I would like to narrate this book. Can we discuss this privately? https://www.instagram.com/serzhi_archer?igsh=Ym16NTA4aTQ3MXI5 Unfortunately, I couldn’t find your page on social media to message you. Thank you in advance!
liuda-belopolskaia15.06.2024, 23:42Thank you! I got immense pleasure from "Stones" and from this book. I love long stories, especially such captivating ones! Wishing you energy and inspiration!
tetiana-gurkalo15.06.2024, 23:59Lyuda Belopolska, thank you))
katerina-beniuk27.05.2024, 16:45Damn, I'll be sad without Husky now( Is a sequel planned? I'm tired of those romance novels and fantasy, I want adventures and cool male heroes.
tetiana-gurkalo27.05.2024, 21:09Kateryna Benyuk, a continuation has been planned here for a very long time, but in the end, "Liin from the So-Yalata Clan" was written. Those body-to-body migrants from this city ended up there due to jumps into the abyss. And in the end, one of the characters, upon returning, is getting ready to go back there. As for male heroes, I’m currently writing about a superhero on minimal settings in a cyberpunk world. But he’s such a pain, and his thoughts about everything in the world are so wild that I’m already scared to show this to anyone)) "City as Inheritance" is also about hero guys, though it’s not very clear at the beginning.
gladkova-elena21.05.2024, 11:11I "dropped by to take a look" at the author. And now I realize how lucky I am to have stumbled upon an interesting personality who can SO skillfully describe my own thoughts about life, growing up, responsibility, and ideas about happiness. Many thanks for such works! Wishing you inspiration and strength for more than just captivating stories!
tetiana-gurkalo21.05.2024, 20:19Gladkova Elena, huge thanks))
marina-virnyk06.03.2024, 12:54Reread it again. Still just as fun, interesting, and exciting))) Not clichéd, well thought out. And I also love Bleach))
tetiana-gurkalo06.03.2024, 20:34Marina Virnyk, thank you))
talina-liepa24.11.2023, 20:13This book is very different from the others. If "Pebbles" was read in one go, and I couldn’t tear myself away from the plot even at night, this one is like a fine aged wine—I wanted to savor every thought, roll the words around, and ponder the meaning of each phrase. A book that makes you reflect on life itself. You do this brilliantly. Thank you.
tetiana-gurkalo24.11.2023, 22:59Talina Liepa, huge thanks)) Here, a lot of thought was given to life from the perspective of the conditionally immortal, and why they might not value that immortality.

What an exhaustive definition of personal growth... very kind and with a touch of life philosophy. Brilliantly noticed and described... and this is only the 3rd section of your book)) incredibly interesting to follow the author's thought, thank you
talina-liepa22.11.2023, 18:31Tetyana Hurkalo, Wonderful characters)), here (specifically in this book) the narrative is presented in a more philosophical way, with your signature humorous style, and interesting adventures (there’s room to swing a saber). It even slightly reminded me of Ratkovska (another writer I love).
bodison07.10.2023, 16:10Hello! I want to sell this book. I'll tell you more in TG @iambodison
bodison08.10.2023, 18:04Tetyana Hurkalo, And what’s the point of selling The Lord of the Rings?)
mokuama-moku12.05.2023, 18:57Even nice:))) Dear author, please note that Risa has tufts on her ears (not brushes;) )!
mokuama-moku14.05.2023, 21:30Tetyana Hurkalo, It seems I also noticed: 5.2 lost opportunities (the word "missed" really stands out). Please take a look. Let it happen again, that’s fine too!

I'm reading with pleasure and hope to somehow show my gratitude, so I'm writing to point out that there is a typo in part five, chapter 1, fourth paragraph - there is a Russian "ы". It doesn't interfere with reading, so if you don't need typo corrections, I won't mention them again.
tetiana-gurkalo21.03.2023, 16:10Liudmyla Masliuk, thank you, I need them)) I might also have Latin letters there, sometimes even with dots above the letters, I get confused with layouts and don’t always notice, especially when editing((
