Umrlčí tanec – Tučka Daniel (2012)

An ancient curse roams the streets, blurring the lines between past and present, summoning the dead and forgotten. The sound of soldiers with muskets echoes on the cobblestones, and the clattering of bones is heard. Anger bubbles in the sewers. The wolf sign leaves the grave. A bloodthirsty inquisitor awakens from a centuries-long slumber. Who will face death when only a handful of the city's former protectors remain? The game is played in nightclubs and medieval inns, in factory halls and gothic cellars, in city parks and graveyards, beyond the walls and on battlefields. New alliances are formed, agreements are broken, and the spoils are divided prematurely. Who will own the city when the twelve designated hours have passed? Human lives are just numbers in the game. Yet, as always, a human will be the most important piece in a millennia-old match. Everything is at stake. Time is short. The rules are sacred. But those who want to win will stop at nothing. Daniel Tučka's urban fantasy, whose common themes can also be found in the winning stories of the "Mercenaries of Fantasy" competition from 2009-2011.
