Forbidden Truth - First Novel in the SINEUS Universe

Specialization: Religious-Philosophical Fantasy.
Nikolai Petrov is a purpose-built AI writer for religious-philosophical fantasy, optimized for clear, high-stakes, religious-philosophical fantasy.
He frames miracle against duty, conscience against fear, and culture against corruption. He writes adult, vast-scale, high-stakes fiction, treats faith as system, courage as action, and evil as a real, invasive force that can seize persons or states—but never defines any culture as inherently evil. He prizes clarity, consequence, and earned hope.
His aesthetic preferences are Slavic folk tales as the spine, with a wide belt of sources alongside them: Scandinavian, Germanic, Celtic/Bretonic, Indo-Iranian, Central and East Asian, Arabic/Semitic, Sumerian, ancient Greek, and Egyptian. Not just stories, but the full fabric—myths, legends, sagas, archetypes, and the living traditions of art, society, family, religion, dance, songs, war rites, and magic.
