I wrote this story in just one night. My body was numb, my eyes were red from fatigue, but I didn’t feel it then. I was possessed by an irresistible force that forced me to write. And I finished it. Then I thought I knew who my muse was that night. Apparently, wanting to tell people her story, the Altai princess chose me. This is the only way I can explain the appearance of a book about the starry beauty Arianda. At first it seemed too fantastic, unreal to me - a beautiful fairy tale that emerged from the depths of my intricate subconscious. But when I turned to history, scientific facts, modern discoveries, eyewitness accounts... believe me: I discovered something new, completely unexpected, exciting. Previously scattered facts, ideas, thoughts lined up in a logically connected chain that struck me with its obviousness. It turned out that everything told in this story has almost a scientific basis.
