Abstract of the book "The Department of Dead Souls. The Soulless Body"
Forty years before the founding of Vilkhferm, the Holy Kingdom of Lyra was conquered, and its population began to be mercilessly exterminated. The only state that agreed to accept non-humans on its territory was Okta. In return, the High Priest of Lyra shared with the king the secret of soul relocation. This is how the Department of Restless Souls was established. And of course, Andrei had to go and get a job there. Everything might have been fine, if she hadn’t accidentally overheard a secret conversation. And as we know, witnesses don’t live long. But our heroine is clever and resourceful, and she managed to avoid an early reunion with her ancestors. And the fact that she now has to live in a new body, under a different name — well, that’s just a detail.

olga12.04.2025, 12:13Yano, thank you for your book. It’s incredible. I really want a continuation. Your writing style is recognizable, authentic, and very much to my liking. The story has a very interesting plot. The way you present several parallel lines, breaking off at the most intriguing moments to further tease the reader’s imagination, is brilliant. Once you start reading, it’s impossible to tear yourself away or switch to something else—it firmly holds your curiosity: what happens next. It feels like a movie. The same can be said about your other works. I hadn’t been on Booknet for three years, but when I came back, I wanted to continue reading this particular story. I browsed through my library, and there are tons of books I’ve reread. But only a few of them stayed in my memory. Your series about Mel is also unforgettable. I wish you inspiration and more time for creativity. If I understand correctly, you have very little time for this.
olga13.04.2025, 19:29Yana Pauvel, Wow! It's so nice to hear from you!!! Thank you for the feedback and for the great news about the posting. I'm overjoyed)))

freya-firefly-freia-svitliacok24.12.2024, 22:15I'm waiting for the continuation. It's captivating, a very well-thought-out plot, and the characters are wonderfully written. When approximately will the next chapter be posted?

iana-pauvel07.12.2024, 12:33Zogal Larysa, Thank you for your feedback)
zogal-larisa06.12.2024, 13:21The ending somehow feels unclear. Different.
iana-pauvel06.12.2024, 19:21Zogal Larysa, the continuation will be soon, click to follow the author so you don't miss the start of the publication)
marina-smorgai06.09.2024, 14:57I conclude from the fact that this book seems torn and unfinished. Your books, which I have read before, I really liked. They had a logical ending. But this one looks as if part of the manuscript was stolen from the author.
iana-pauvel06.09.2024, 15:35Marina Shmorgay, The continuation is already being written. And you will be able to find it on my page as soon as I start posting it. It's just that writing this story is much more difficult due to the large number of characters. Probably, this will be the last series of books in this format, as writing it takes a lot of time and effort.
marina-smorgai05.09.2024, 09:25The book is written in an interesting way, but it feels incomplete because books aren't supposed to end without a resolution. I think the continuation will be paid.
iana-pauvel05.09.2024, 13:26Marina Shmorgay, Of course, there will be a continuation. But even I am not sure if it will be paid. And, honestly, such comments are really disappointing.
marina-smorgai05.09.2024, 09:25Disappointed.
