Jošt: Stíny Brünburgu – Kouřilová Anna (2025)

Welcome to Brünburg, a prestigious lyceum for aspiring wizards. Among its new students is Jošt Vaněvski, the son of heroes from the Great War. The more famous his parents are, the more Jošt tries to be invisible. He doesn't aspire to be a great wizard, doubts his abilities, and is reluctant to attend Brünburg at all.

However, in the castle filled with winding corridors, ghosts, and peculiar artifacts, he soon finds friends – classmate Bruno and his cousin Rézi. He also encounters the ghost Marcel, who teaches him spells that first-year students typically don't learn. But why did the former dark wizard choose Jošt? And are his intentions really as pure as they seem?

What initially appeared to be a series of strange robberies evolves into a complex crime, prompting the involvement of the chief spell-catcher, Jošt's father Alexej, in the investigation.

Anna and Jiří Kouřil have built an extensive magical world full of thrilling history, airships, humor, and good food. The story of young wizard Jošt and his classmates will delight not only…
