The Third Key

Tatiana Korsakova writes at the boundary of mixing genres of sentimental novels, detective stories, and mysticism. Fans of romantic-adventurous stories know her by the pseudonym Alisa Korsak. Her novels have everything: true friendship, first love, mysticism, and an unconventional plot.

The... quiet pond in the old estate hides a terrible secret in its depth. For fifteen years, a mechanical statue has rested there, which the locals respectfully and fearfully call the Sleeping Lady. In days gone by, when the Sleeping Lady still stood in the garden, murdered girls were found at her feet. And now the statue has been raised to the surface again, and someone is searching for keys to wind it up. Last time, Aglaia miraculously survived, but now danger threatens her once more. Old love and old fears have been resurrected. Is history repeating itself? And the dark surface of the pond is calm and serene, as it can only be before a great storm.
