About the author

Evelina Ivanova

<p>Evelina Ivanova is a Bulgarian electrical engineer turned independent author and publisher, whose curiosity has always reached far beyond the boundaries of the conventional.</p><p>Deeply fascinated by ancient history, Thracian civilization, and Bulgarian mythology, she believes that the answers to humanity's greatest questions were already spoken clearly by the ancients — and that politics, not evidence, is what buries the truth. Her work is driven by a simple but radical idea: that mythology is not fantasy, but memory. That ancient texts are not allegory, but record.</p><p>Her writing explores the intersections of alternative history, esoteric knowledge, and the possibility of non-human intelligence — not as speculation, but as a logical reading of what has always been in plain sight.</p><p>She is the author of <em>The Gradishte Portal</em>, a documentary thriller rooted in a real 1981 Bulgarian archaeological expedition to Strandzha Mountain, and the fantasy trilogy <em>The Reptilian Wars</em>, beginning with <em>The Path to Darkala</em>.</p>
