Vera Kamsha

The turning point in her career was her 2001 meeting with Nick Perumov, already a popular fantasy writer by the time.

In 2001, Kamsha's first novel, Dark Star (Russian: "Тёмная Звезда") was published by Eksmo.

Kamsha's later books, Gleams of Aeterna series in particular, were heavily influenced by George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, as well as by Alexander Dumas's historical adventure novels.

The series is set in a fantasy world resembling 17th-century Europe, with firearms and a strong church influence.

The first books of the Gleams of Aeterna series were translated to Polish and released by Wroclaw publisher Wydawnictwo Dolnośląskie.
