The protagonist is a Nenets, a member of one of the peoples who call far northern Russia home. Dubbed \"The Gods' Favorite\" for his seeming imperviousness to harm or grief, Mebet earns the envy and derision of his fellow tribesmen. He lives that carefree and blessed life until his old age, when one day a supernatural messenger arrives to lead him to where the realms of the living and the dead meet. Now the God's Favorite must confront the price to be paid for his elevated position, and a series of dread trials that lie in store.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalled a dark and terrifying fantasy and the Nenets \u003cem\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e by Russian writer and journalist Sergey Kuznetsov, Grigorenko's \u003cem\u003eMebet\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful story about humanity, personal fate, and responsibility.
