Krev Nejmocnějších – Vorálková Monika (2017)

Argrand has been attacked! The wargs, monstrous creatures of the night, have destroyed not only the stronghold but also the entire previous life of the aboret Nayra. The girl, accustomed to the comforts of the castle, is now forced to flee through the wilderness. She is left with only her last surviving guardian, Valaan. Along with the wargs, evil that has been sleeping for so long has awakened that most people have forgotten about it. It consumes the world, drowning one estate after another in blood. It longs for an ancient crystal, the last fragment of which is hidden by Nayra. The girl, along with her guardian, is thrown into a whirlwind of terrifying events, where she fights not only for her life but also for the fate of the entire world. In a war-torn land full of demonic creatures, the fragile Nayra must defeat a powerful opponent from ancient times, and above all, she must battle her own weaknesses and emotions. She will emerge from this struggle forever changed, just like the world around her. There is no way back. The author unfolds an epic story that stylistically balances between The Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire, while still maintaining a certain touch of originality. Her world is magical and terrifying, precisely in the right measured doses.
