Hrdá – Cherezińska Elżbieta (2022)

Svatoslava was always proud. Together with her brother Boleslav, she watched her father, Prince Měšek, rule from a young age. She was meant to become a valuable pawn in his political game. However, her ambitions reached much higher: she wanted to become a queen. But the paths of fate are unpredictable. When she went to the court of her new husband, she met someone who captured her heart. Can she fulfill her ambitions while also loving? Much is at stake – friends turn into enemies, love into hatred, a sacrament into a curse. Proud is a novel about an extraordinary woman whose fate is inextricably linked to the histories of Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and England. Passion, the struggle for the throne, bloody battles, and surprising twists are the territory in which Elżbieta Cherezińska moves with the ease and ferocity of a falcon.
