E-book, Czech
Lord of Wizards
Sequel to the young adult novel Shards of Time
Jana and Peter managed to win a duel with the dreaded wizard Mabrok and not lose their lives in the process. This, however, did not resolve their situation, but rather set in motion unexpected events. Both are struggling to cope with many unexpected twists and turns while finding their way to each other. However, it is not at all easy. While she is just getting to know him, he knows everything about her. Or so they think, because time travel is somewhat erratic. Jana discovers that living with someone in real life is not the way she had painted it in her romantic fantasies. Especially when it comes to a powerful sorcerer who tailors the truth to suit his needs. Peter wanted to start a new life, but it's not easy - for some people he is a criminal, for others he is a traitor. A struggle for power and control over Ostrava begins and Peter has only one thing to do - to take the place of his former master.
They wrote about the book:
Petra Slováková has created a story that is hard to tear yourself away from. Magic, love, time travel... in short, what you expect from this genre and what the souls of not only teenagers long for.
- Fantasymag
If young adult literature can be accused of conforming to general tastes, skimming the surface and paying little attention to artistic quality, none of this applies to Petra Slováková's novel. It is dominated by admirable imagery, an ambiguous view of good and evil and polished, plastic language.
