The Path to Darkala

In the heart of ancient Thrace, where forgotten gods still walk and serpentine powers shape the fate of humanity, a young warrior discovers a path that will change everything. Drawn into a conflict older than civilization itself, he must navigate between the Dragon Guardians - the noble Zmeyove - and the dark Halasi, the reptilian forces that have secretly controlled human history for millennia.Rooted in Bulgarian mythology and Thracian history, The Path to Darkala blends ancient legend with modern conspiracy, weaving a tale of power, destiny, and the eternal battle between light and shadow. Evelina Ivanova is a Bulgarian electrical engineer turned independent author and publisher, whose curiosity has always reached far beyond the boundaries of the conventional.Deeply fascinated by ancient history, Thracian civilization, and Bulgarian mythology, she believes that the answers to humanity's greatest questions were already spoken clearly by the ancients - and that politics, not evidence, is what buries the truth. Her work is driven by a simple but radical idea: that mythology is not fantasy, but memory. That ancient texts are not allegory, but record.Her writing explores the intersections of alternative history, esoteric knowledge, and the possibility of non-human intelligence - not as speculation, but as a logical reading of what has always been in plain sight.She is the author of The Gradishte Portal, a documentary thriller rooted in a real 1981 Bulgarian archaeological expedition to Strandzha Mountain, and the fantasy trilogy The Reptilian Wars, beginning with The Path to Darkala.
