The Night Traveller is a sequel to The Eye of the World, the first teenage novel about the UPA in Ukrainian literature, written on the basis of real events by one of the most prominent Ukrainian writers, Halyna Pahutyak.
It is winter. The village of Zalokot in the Carpathians, where Ilko, a teenager and UPA liaison officer, lives. When you have to travel alone, it's better to do it at night, because it's safer, and you have the Eye of the World
diamond, a pistol, and a grenade to protect you from
ghosts and the occupying enemy. It doesn't matter that the guy is not even fifteen yet - he has long since stepped onto the path of war and there is no turning back. If there is no one left to fight for Ukraine, children will do it - this is the main motif of the second book about the young UPA liaison officer, already known to Ukrainian readers from the novel The Eye of the World. In this school of life, in this hopeless struggle against the Moscow occupier, he does what his heart tells him to do, and that is why he is first and foremost a hero, not a victim.
