A touch of wind
The world is on the brink of war, and Isarell and Bastien once again find themselves entangled in the intrigues of the wildling queen
The Shadow is stirring and the united human clans are intensively preparing for war with the Arachryst. The druids continue their dangerous experiments, awakening demons in the bodies of human warriors and paying a high price for their partial successes. The fallen Jorreian knight, Kreón, knows they are playing with fire, but it seems King Giastral of the Veledhari has lost the last remnants of his self-preservation instinct.
However, an even greater threat is coming from the darkness. The Sarrei are setting out on a hunt, targeting elite Jorreian knights just before their confirmation. Sittedral declares a mission with a completely twisted goal—no sane person would willingly accept it!
But that's what the wildlings are for, with their mad queen at the helm.
Isarell and Bastien are once again plunged into Ymira's complex intrigues. Can they escape, or will they drown this time?
Reviews of the book:
The eponymous first book in the Zlatá grai series shows that it's possible to create an epic fantasy saga comparable to foreign ones, even on the Czech scene. A cleverly built world, interesting characters, and a fast-paced plot full of combat, hard training, and magic.
- Pevnost
Kristina M. Waagnerová's Zlatá grai series is a phenomenon that, in its pacing, craftsmanship, and imaginative construction, rivals novels by far more experienced stars of the genre. It's a fantasy characterised by a well-thought-out and ruthless world, as well as a multitude of vivid and unpredictable characters. And in Dotek viatáru, the author shows that she is far from playing all her cards.
- Jiří Štěpán, editor
Dotek viatáru builds on the foundations of its predecessor, picking up the pace and making the main plot even more interesting. Both central characters, as well as many supporting ones, are given more concrete shape. In short, Waagnerová proves that she can write dynamic fantasy and sell many original elements.
- Fantasy Planet
Whoever picks up this book will join the wildlings. A world of intrigue, battles, and blood.
- Tereza Kadečková, author of the novel Ve větvích Yggdrasilu
