About the Series
A Universe Built Over a Decade
Sova's Legend began as a single question: what happens to the people who keep the universe running while everyone else argues about who should be in charge of it?
Ten years in the making, the trilogy spans three novels, three worlds, and one extraordinary crew whose story refuses to be forgotten. Backed by AIA-Studio — Creative Science Fiction Films — each book is produced with the same cinematic attention to detail you'd expect from a major release.
  • 3 full-length novels, 1,200+ pages total
  • Original cover art commissioned for each volume
  • Universe guide & lore appendix included
  • Available in digital (ePub/PDF) and print

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Write to us at office@aia-studio.com and we will add the answer to this section.
About the Books
Where and how can I buy the books of the Sova's Legend trilogy?
Digital versions of all three books (Dusk of the Gods, The Solar Worlds, Killing Time) are available directly on this website. After payment, you will immediately receive files in formats convenient for reading on any device. No intermediaries — just you, the author, and space.
Will there be printed versions of the books?
Yes, but later. Right now, we are focused on digital distribution and preparing materials for the screen adaptation. As soon as there is demand, we will launch print-on-demand or a small print run. Subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss it.
What language are the books written in?
In Russian and English. However, we are actively working on professional translations into other languages. If you would like to help with translation or funding this stage — write to us, and we'll discuss it.
I am from the USA. Can I buy the book?
Absolutely. E-books are sold worldwide with no restrictions. And for future projects (comics, the series), the American market is our number one priority.
About the Comics
What are these comics about, and when will they be released?
We plan to release graphic novels based on the second and third books of the trilogy — The Solar Worlds and Killing Time. This is not just a retelling, but a visual reimagining: with atmospheric artwork, dynamic scenes, and, of course, our signature black humor.
Where can I buy the comics?
The comics will not be sold in a regular store. Their release will be funded through Kickstarter. There, you will also be able to order an exclusive copy, possibly with the author's signature or a limited edition.
When will the Kickstarter campaign launch?
We are planning the launch for the fourth quarter of 2026. The exact date will be announced in our newsletter and on social media. Don't miss it — the first backers will receive special bonuses.
About the TV Series
Is it true that a TV series based on Sova's Legend will be made?
We really want this and are actively moving toward that goal. Currently, AIA Studio is producing a teaser and presentation materials to present the series. We are open to partnerships with streaming platforms and investors.
Can I invest in the series?
Yes. We are considering different formats: from direct investments to crowdfunding via Kickstarter (including for producing a pilot episode). If you represent a business or just want to help — write to us via email. Every contribution matters!
About the Team & Rights
Who owns the rights to the Sova's Legend universe?
All distribution rights for materials in the USA belong to AIA Studio — an independent studio founded by book author Alexander Lysenko, technical producer Ivan Lysenko, and CEO Alexander Fries. We control the books, comics, series, games, and any other content based on the universe.
I am an artist/composer/screenwriter. Can I join the project?
Of course! We are open to collaborations. We need talented people who share our love for space and intellectual humor. Send your portfolio and a brief description of how you can help.
Technical Questions
I didn't understand how to download the book after payment.
A download link is sent to your email address. If something goes wrong — write to us, and we will send the files manually. We are not robots. Well, not all of us are robots.
I want to support the project but not through Kickstarter. Are there other ways?
Certainly! You can also simply buy books on this website — that is already a big support. Or tell your friends about us.
Contact & Social Media
How can I contact you for business inquiries?
Write to our official email: office@aia-studio.com or to one of the founders directly. Contacts are listed at the bottom of the page.
Where can I follow project news?
Subscribe to our Telegram channel, follow our page on YouTube and TikTok. We regularly post concept art, teasers, and announcements. And the most important news — only in the newsletter.
For Investor Companies
Do you have a pitch deck or detailed investor materials?
Do you have questions about the monetization model, payback period, legal rights, or the production stage of the series? Request our detailed pitch deck. Write to us with the subject line "Investor" at office@aia-studio.com.
