Rafaelova škola 5 - Vlasy dryád – Štulcová Renata (2018)

The Hair of the Dryads, the fifth book in the Rafael School series, continues from the previous volumes: Fairy Wings, Dance of the Nāgas, Horns of the Fauns, and The Nymph's Waves. Rafael School is a mysterious romantic story with elements of healing, esotericism, and ecology, set partly in the contemporary world, where in the Křivoklát forests we find a natural science gymnasium called Rafael School. Here, sixteen-year-old Marina Fialková has been studying for five years, as her missing mother wished. Marina discovers the other half of existence, the invisible world behind the curtain. She has already found her mother; now she is becoming a dryad, a being on the border between animals and plants. She matures and is faced with the choice of her future. At the same time, she encounters the love she dreams of. But is this love the one that was destined for her? Before Rafael School was published in book form, the author published it on her blog. The series has captivated not only girls but also older female readers of all ages. In her writing, the author's love for the Earth, nature, people, and herbs serves as her inspiration.
