Some men inherit power. Others inherit the damage. The Children of Kings is the second book in The Temporary Arrangements Series, a dark, unsentimental novel about how men are shaped, renamed, and repurposed inside systems that no longer need to announce themselves with violence.

The Imaginary Pot of Vodka Gold is a cyclical anti-hero narrative about desire, stability, rupture, and repetition. A man believes he has reached the bottom of his life, only to discover that "bottom" is a comforting myth—an idea sold to make endurance feel meaningful. What actually exists is pattern: motion without resolution, survival without victory, and the quiet continuation of appetite long after the story is supposed to end.

The system doesn’t crush you. It schedules you. Power no longer announces itself with threats or violence. It arrives quietly, disguised as access. Permissions expand. Dashboards open. Decisions accelerate. Nothing is taken—everything is reclassified.

Tales from the Motherland: Book Zero is a darkly comic collection of interlinked stories about power, memory, exile, and the quiet absurdities of modern life. Set across post-Soviet cities, imagined borderlands, and bureaucratic nowhere-zones, these stories follow people who live slightly out of sync with their surroundings—men and women shaped by collapse, reinvention, and systems that no longer announce themselves with force, but with procedure, habit, and polite indifference.

Maksim Max Orlov is not living, he is staying eligible to be billed again. He wakes up with a mouth tasting of metal and a phone bleeding failed payment notifications. Somewhere between towering ambition and crippling laziness, Max has mastered a new survival skill, he can turn his own collapse into a joke before anyone else can name it. A chaos man with a talent for punchlines, and a hollow hunger for validation.

A Bed of Roses — Reloaded is not a dystopia and not a thriller—though it borrows the grammar of both. It is an audiobook about how modern power actually works: quietly, procedurally, without spectacle—and what happens when someone stops moving at the speed it expects.

Set against the collapse and aftermath of post-Soviet life, the book follows a boy taken from a forgotten Siberian village and carried—politely, efficiently—into a world that will rename him, repurpose him, and decide his value without ever raising its voice. There are no heroes here, no redemption arcs, no lessons offered at a safe distance. What unfolds instead is a careful study of how people survive when survival itself becomes useful to others. Violence appears rarely, and never as release. Care arrives disguised as containment. Stability is presented as generosity.
