Description
This Czech-language historical novel follows Anika, who grows up with her father Jakub, the town executioner, as he teaches her his trade and prepares her for a difficult life on the margins of society. When he is treacherously murdered before her eyes and their home is burned down, the girl finds herself alone in a world full of prejudice and violence. Without the protection provided by her father’s cursed position, she must now rely solely on her skills and courage. As she sets out to uncover the murderers, Anika gains unexpected allies among people she would once have encountered only in the torture chamber. She increasingly falls under the spell of the mysterious Darko while moving further away from everything she once knew as the executioner’s daughter. Nevertheless, she is determined to seek justice and avenge her father’s death.
