The Serpent's Nest

The Dragon's Den is an impregnable enchanted mountain. Locked deep within, a blind weaver spins songs that even a fierce stone warrior heeds, while a cunning servant devises a way to untangle the knot of gem-filled passages. Princes summon their squads to eliminate the winged serpent that demands an exorbitant tribute. The year wanes, and the summer solstice approaches—a day that no dragon's prisoner has survived. The clamor of shields and whispers of conspiracies, blood vengeance and troubling prophecies, a copper glow over the battlefield… If the ancient tale of the prince brothers is a wheel turning in circles, it has now come off its axis. And those who wish to defeat the monster should be cautious not to unwittingly take its place. The monster's place cannot remain vacant. The final part of the epic duology by Yana Lechkina! The songs of Ratslava become sharper and sweeter, the serpent Saramat is prophesied disaster, and the principalities, which recently paid tribute, unite against a common woe. A battle is about to erupt, followed by the long-awaited finale. A dark ethnic fantasy with elements familiar to us from childhood tales and legends. Cover illustration by artist Tania Durer.
