On writing

Igor M. Pavlov writes fantasy and science fiction shaped by myth, folklore, and the cold breath of distant worlds. His stories move between epic battles and quiet moments of self-discovery, exploring how ordinary people face extraordinary events. In his fantasy, ancient powers lie dormant beneath mountains, forgotten swords whisper truths, and legends walk alongside mortals. In his science fiction, humanity searches for meaning across strange stars and shifting realities. He is the author of The Sword of the Snowmountains, the opening novel of a new epic saga rooted in folklore, history, and the stark beauty of winter. Igor writes from rural Croatia, where old stories and landscapes fuel his imagination. When he is not shaping worlds, he studies myths, maps, and the hidden threads that connect past and future.
