Rybalka

From publisher blurb:

The Rybalkan day begins as the sun casts its light over the jagged peaks of the mountains, the rays hitting the crystallized snow-cover to scatter myriad colors of light upon the partially frozen Serpent Lake. The villagers stir and begin their daily duties—indigenous fishermen drive their skiffs over the jagged chunks of ice and into the water, Imperial soldiers gear up for wilderness patrols, and the blacksmith stokes his fire.
