Pohřbeno v hlubinách a jiné povídky – Noviková Naomi (2025)

The bestselling queen of fantasy in a collection of short stories

Accept the invitation to the gothic magical halls from the Scholomancy trilogy and the fairy tale worlds of the books In the Shadow of the Forest and In the Grip of Winter — this collection of short stories will take you from Slavic mythology to fantasy, from myths to history, and from mysteries to science fiction. You will travel from ancient Greece and Rome through the Middle Ages to modern times. You will meet Mark Antony, Sherlock Holmes, and Elizabeth Bennet as you have never known them. You will visit exotic fantasy cities and alien civilizations among the stars. Every fan of Naomi Novik will find something for themselves in this collection.

Although the stories are very diverse, they share one theme: taking fate into one's own hands and the fear of how far one is willing to go to achieve their goals. In one of the stories, the author returns to the revamped Scholomancy and gives a glimpse into the lives of a new generation of students and old acquaintances. The cherry on top is a story from the world of an unpublished novel, teasing the author's upcoming book. And there is much to look forward to!
