Description
Set around Stonehenge, one of the greatest mysteries in human history, this Czech-language historical novel follows Seft, a talented flint knapper who crosses the Great Plain in the summer heat to attend ceremonies marking the beginning of the new year. He also hopes to trade his stones at the market and, above all, find Neen, the girl he deeply loves. Her prosperous family and pastoral community offer him a chance to escape his cruel father and brothers. Neen’s sister Joia is a priestess with a vision and an exceptional ability to lead people. As a child, she watches the summer solstice ceremony in awe and dreams of a miraculous new monument built from the largest stones in the world. But trouble is gathering in the hills and forests of the Great Plain. Joia’s vision of a magnificent stone circle inspires Seft and becomes the work of their lives, while drought devastates the fertile land and distrust grows among the tribes of herders, farmers and foresters. An act of brutal violence finally leads to open war.
