The House of Danu
The Vixen - Book 1
Rohan, a witch hiding in a primitive society, is driven to action by dreadful visions.
​
Lugh, a bogatyr and starfighter pilot, foresees the same terrifying future. Travelling to investigate the merit of the prophecies, he finds himself stranded on Rohan’s planet, where nothing is as it seems.
In a world where science and magic intersect, the witch and the knight are divided by society and ideology. Torn between fulfilling their obligations and following their conscience, Lugh and Rohan must choose between their past and a treacherous future. Saving the future means breaking oaths, becoming traitors and a certain death. Could two ordinary people challenge fate?
A mix of politics, mysticism and action, “The Vixen” is the first book in the science fantasy epic series “The House of Danu” loosely based on Celtic and Slav stories and mythology, intended exclusively for adult audiences.
"The Vixen" challenges the societal norms opposing the characters' morality and ethics. Being written in first person, it helps introduce and better understand several complex subjects left untouched by the space opera genre:
​
-
neurodiversity: accepting and normalizing our differences;
-
the impact of armed conflicts on civilians;
-
different sexual and spiritual orientations, and these people's challenges in society;
-
gender differentiation and violence against women;
-
psychology and complexities of multi-generations living together;
-
the long-term impact of violence on professional soldiers (PTSD effects), and more.

January 2025 update
I ask for your patience a little longer. It's been much work, but I am revisiting the entire story and adding new elements to it which would bring further depth to the epic tale of the solitary witch.
