Awakened by War

An eye-opening and deeply touching exploration of the stories of people at war for their freedom, families, and the very essence of life itself in the shadow of Russian crimes.

In this in-depth, vivid, and fact-based novel, readers are immersed in the resilience of Ukrainians during the war with Russia. From the very first morning of full-scale aggression to the brave defense at Gostomel airport, the desperate evacuation from Kyiv, and the chilling horrors of Bucha, civilians' solidarity under fire in Kharkiv bomb shelters, and the heart-wrenching adventures of teenagers in the Symu region.

Far beyond a mere wartime story, this novel is a testament to the indomitable strength, humanity, and national identity rediscovered by those who lost everything. Lives and purposes are redefined in a matter of hours, and each protagonist - regardless of age, income, or social status - grapples with existential questions to navigate the new realities.
