The Voronoveli return: writing has begun on the second book of the saga — “The Hunt Has Begun”
After “The First Midnight,” the brothers know who they are. But their awakening has stirred the hidden world as well. Writing has begun on the second “Legacy of the Voronoveli” novel — and now they are the ones being hunted.
The first midnight has passed. Mark, Egor, and Danylo have made the choice they could still have refused only a short time ago: they stayed in the ancestral House, accepted the truth about the Voronoveli, and chose to stand together not simply because blood bound them, but because they decided to remain a family.
It might seem that the most dangerous night is already behind them.
But this is where the hunt begins.
Writing has officially begun on the second book of the “Legacy of the Voronoveli” saga — “The Hunt Has Begun.” It will continue directly from “The First Midnight,” opening in the aftermath of Ihor Hrobontsov’s death, Stefan’s return in a new form, and the brothers’ decision not to run from the House that has finally accepted them as its own.
Yet if the Voronoveli spent the first book trying to understand who they are, the second brings a far more dangerous question: who already knows about them?
The protection that kept the three heirs hidden for years can no longer make them invisible. Their power has awakened. Old traces have begun to surface. A family name that was supposed to remain part of forgotten history is appearing again in places where it is remembered far better than the brothers could ever have imagined.
And someone is already counting.
Three Voronoveli. Three different powers. Three traces that can now be found.
The second book will open the world of the saga far beyond the ancestral estate. Magic does not exist only behind the walls of the Voronoveli House. Beyond it are other ancient bloodlines, unfamiliar rules, forgotten agreements, erased rights, and people for whom the return of the Voronoveli is anything but a miracle. For some, it is an opportunity. For others, a threat. And for someone else, it may be the chance to finally finish what others began many years ago.
This is where the brothers will first begin to understand the difference between possessing power and having the right to wield it.
They are still learning. Still making mistakes. Still testing the limits of abilities they barely understand. Mark is trying to keep everyone alive and increasingly risks turning care into control. Egor is beginning to see that truth does not always belong to the person who speaks with the greatest certainty. Danylo looks for paths where others see only locked doors — without yet realizing that some doors are dangerous precisely because they can be opened.
And beside the Voronoveli appear people without whom this story can no longer remain only about three brothers.
The Kovenders.
An ancient bloodline whose blood also remembers what someone once ordered the world to forget. Arsen and Myron do not enter the Voronoveli story as convenient allies or as men ready to stand beneath someone else’s banner without question. Their alliance must be earned, tested, and shaped without turning cooperation into obedience.
The collision of two bloodline marks reveals one of the book’s first major riddles:
“Blood remembers what the law ordered forgotten.”
And beneath those words remain five empty spaces.
No names.
No explanations.
Not yet.
“The Hunt Has Begun” will expand the world of the Voronoveli not simply through more magical confrontations, but through the growing realization that every answer hides another layer of truth. What appears to be one pursuit may have several different sources. Someone who looks like an obvious enemy may be following an entirely different purpose. And an ancient law may conceal not order, but the remains of something someone tried very hard to erase.
Even the beginning of the second novel reaches back into the past — to Viktor and Viktoria Voronoveli, to a time when Mark and Egor were still children and the third heir had not yet been born. It was then that the family seal gave a third response, and Viktoria understood what it meant: three heirs of the same generation would create a shared trace far more difficult to conceal.
Their father once did everything he could to make sure no one saw that trace.
Now there is no one left to hide it.
This is where “Legacy of the Voronoveli. Book II: The Hunt Has Begun” starts — a story about the brothers’ first true step into the hidden world, about new allies and those who have not yet decided what they intend to become, about erased names, ancient rights, foreign roads, and a power whose history may be much older than anything the Voronoveli themselves have been told.
The first book gave the brothers their inheritance.
The second will reveal how many people were waiting for them to accept it.
