My mother named me Yara, after the bright sun that reflects off the snow cover. But how could she know what snow looks like, if there hasn't been winter for hundreds of years?
The only place where the cold is still preserved is the cursed forest. The last December sorcerer lives there, because of whom winter might one day return. People do everything they can to prevent this, sacrificing children born in December. And I turned out to be one of those children.
Liya Arden (real name: Vlada) was born on December 15 in the city of Saint Petersburg. She graduated from Saint Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts (now SPbGIK) with a degree in Cultural Studies (art management). At present, she has been living and working in Korea for more than seven years.
Since school, Vlada had been deeply fascinated by the history and culture of various countries: she read a great deal about Alexander the Great and studied Japanese. She also played many musical instruments, but eventually settled on percussion.
