For her, Semenova was given an award as the best children's book of the year.
Maria Vasilievna earned a living by translating, when translating books, she met with fiction. She didn’t really like much, she decided to create something in the style of Slavic fantasy, so in 1992 she began to write “Wolfhound”.
Publishers called this hero Russian Conan. The novel was written for three whole years, then a sequel was created along with Pavel Molitvin. In 2000, the ABC Publishing House released a series about the Wolfhound. Molytvin separately wrote a series of books that told about the life of Wolfhound's companions. M.

Semiprecious mountains
If you look at the mainland, they are in the south and in the center, the array is quite large. In the south you can find Sakkarem and Nardal, in the west - Narlak and Halisun, in the east is the Eternal Steppe. Three peaks are called Teeth, they are located in the south of the mountains - Big, Middle and Southern.
The valley is located on one elevation, heat is coming from under the ground, the owners who own the mines live there. There is also a treasury where the most beautiful of stones are stored. Highlanders also live here, they believe that the Teeth is a cursed place, so they bypass it. Most often, you can see different birds, bats, rats and a snow cat.
They say that the mountains arose because of a comet that fell on the planet, it is called the Dark Star. Once people shot a deer, he tried to get up, plucked the ground, the pursuers saw gems. As soon as rumors about the found stones were sent, many came here to find jewelry and get rich. In the future, one of the prospectors found gems and organized mines, while someone began to serve more successful. The location of the mountains helped repel attacks during the war more than once. And as a result, it was decided that trade would be established with the mountains.
The extraction of stones is carried out by slaves, mainly by men, they are sold here specially. This place is considered penal servitude, scammers, robbers, killers are sent here. Someone sells captives, someone - objectionable people. More often than not, slave traders bring slaves to the Semiprecious Mountains, but workers who specially come to work here can work, because they pay very well here. From time to time, women are brought to the Gemstone Mountains. Most of them are women of easy virtue. They drive tricks with the owners or guards. Rarely come across slaves.
Villas
Villas live in the Gem Mountains, and there are various legends about them. They say that they have wings, that they can fly. However, this is not entirely correct. Their growth is slightly lower than the rest, they speak an amazing language, they communicate with each other by whistling and clicking. In addition, they can communicate telepathically. They can also speak other languages. Family ties are very strong between them, and if someone finds out something, then others will know about it. In the mountains they live high, build small houses of stone.
They have animals called simurans. It is on them that they fly. It is the duty of the villas to monitor the weather - they can send rain, hail, drought. The leader and his wife rule the tribe. A common weapon are self-arrows. Villas can also grow vegetables.
Simurans
These are dogs, but they have wings. Once the God of thunderstorm was very angry with people, but the dog stood up to protect his masters, he was very brave, God appreciated this. He gave wings to a dog and called him a simuran. They say that simuran can bring good luck, it will give a wonderful harvest. Simuran also accompanies the soul that crosses the Star Bridge.
They look like dogs in appearance, large and lean. Larger than golden eagles. They have a rite of passage when a puppy is accepted into the warriors. Communicate through telepathy and verbally. Some of them are seers. Family ties are very strong among the simurans.
Tribe of venn
For their place of residence, they choose the banks of rivers or lakes, they put stoves for heating, and there are no windows in the houses. Usually houses are made of wood. The form of government is matriarchy; the main woman is called Bolshukha. A boy under 12 is given a nickname. Then comes the rite of passage. A girl can give a guy a bead, this is considered a sign of engagement. If no one is against, play a wedding. Nobody leaves the family, only because of marriage. Hearing deportees, this is considered a rather severe punishment. Believe in Mother Earth and Father Sky. Other religions are well treated if they do not see harm from them.
The tribe is very numerous and has broken into many genera, among them Squirrels, Hares and Gray Dogs. Usually, this beast is the patron saint of the genus and transfers its qualities to posterity. Gray Dogs exterminated segans.
The prototype of venn is radimichi. The vennas invented by Semenova have a lot of similarities in customs and culture. In Dribinsky district (Belarus), a festival was held in honor of the anniversary, it was possible to see people in traditional clothes of radimichi.
Bush wolf
Once the villas found in the mine a small child who had just been born. It often happened that women came, sometimes they became pregnant. Wanting to get rid of the child, they threw children off the cliffs or simply threw them into mines. Here is one of these children and found the villa. They picked up the baby, left him, after which they brought him to the Squirrels.
Semenova’s book “The Wolf’s Wolf” tells us that a tribe of Vennians, the Squirrel, lived on the Svetyn River for a very long time. The guy found in their person friendly and kind people who took the child up, loved him, took care of him. But who would have thought that the usual fun in the winter would end with something unexpected. First, some strange bird, then the werewolf attacked a friend. And then an ordinary-looking boy opens up an unprecedented gift - he can read other people's thoughts. Who is he? And once, a bear came straight to the dwellings, he carried a man on his back. That man was badly wounded. From this moment on, the whole boy’s life has changed.
