That bird that drinks tears. Book 1. Hearts of the Nagas

An epic adventure fantasy based on an original author's setting, the world of which is created on the basis of Korean mythology and is as different as possible from the Tolkien world of The Lord of the Rings familiar to the Western reader.
The world of the work is inhabited by four races: in addition to ordinary people from the mighty North, there are Nagas - mysterious snake-like people, Dokkebi - cheerful fire-making demons who mislead people with the help of magical fire, and Lekons - powerful big men who resemble giant roosters. The entire world system, pantheon of gods, flora and fauna - everything is unusual, interesting, alive and described in detail.
"Hearts of Nagas" is the first part of Lee Yondo's fantastic tetralogy "The bird that drinks tears". A charming and incredibly exciting debut from the great Korean master of the fantasy genre!
