Foul Days: Book One of The Witch´s Compendium of Monsters

Meer over het boek

In the walled city of Chernograd, Kosara, a skilled witch, navigates a world filled with lycanthropes, kikimoras, and bloodsucking upirs. However, her greatest challenge is her ex, the Zmey, the Tsar of Monsters, who is now hunting her after she defied him one too many times. Betrayed by someone close, Kosara makes a desperate choice to trade her shadow—the source of her powers—for a chance to escape. This decision leads her to develop a deadly illness that afflicts shadowless witches, leaving her in a race against time to reclaim her magic and cure herself. To retrieve her shadow, Kosara must reluctantly ally with a seemingly honorable detective, but the path is fraught with danger. With only twelve days to confront the greatest threats of the Foul Days, she must navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is scarce. As she faces the shadows of her past, Kosara's journey becomes a test of her resilience and cunning. Early reviews praise the story as a must-read, highlighting its wit, charm, and thrilling pace. Readers find it an engaging introduction to Balkan folklore, making it an exciting adventure from the very first page.
