Description
The sun is high and burning. Do you smell the hay and the first strawberries? It is time to sacrifice to the goddess of summer – and succumb to love. The year is 906, clouds are gathering over Great Moravia, and young Milan is saved from sacrifice by a rare foal with a golden coat. However, stealing from Mojmír's herd does not pay off, especially when the prince must appease more than one god before battle. Milan faces a flight to pagan Bohemia, accompanied by an annoying monk and the alluring Kotys, but also unexpected encounters with beings of the woods, waters, and hills, as well as foreign raiders. But the sun keeps burning, the forest sings – and who would fear the noose or the edge of an opponent when driven by the desire of youth... Věra Mertlíková's historical fantasy novel brings to life Slavic myths and the faithful realities of the early Middle Ages. And the realization that love and the desire for wealth ruled people in the 10th century just as they do today.
