The Siege of the Church of the Holy Savior

Each book in the series is a literary gem.

Magical realism from Goran Petrovic. The heroes migrate from dreams to reality and back. In dreams, one can travel through time; villains can rob and kill in dreams, stealing all ideas and... intentions. Even a pregnancy can be hidden in a dream, though it will last three times longer than usual; in real life, no one will suspect anything.

The thirteenth century. The Bulgarians and Cumans are advancing on the abode of the Holy Savior. With their terrible attributes, gloom, and bloodthirstiness, they stand alongside any 'army of darkness' from modern fantasy.
They have ominous shadows, and their leader Shishman wears a lynx hat that comes to life and lunges at the wrongdoer at its master's command.

The narrative spreads across the entire history of Europe: the treachery of the legendary blind man, the Venetian doge Dandolo, the capture of Constantinople by the crusaders, the fate of two Serbian kings - Dragutin and Milutin. The novel even features its own Woland - a man with a dried pumpkin from which darkness spills out.

For lovers of magical realism, the novel will take a worthy place after 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' and 'The Master and Margarita.' Based on real events, it reads both as historical fantasy and as a philosophical novel.

The cover design is inspired by the styles of 'quiet luxury' and 'old money.' The minimalist series 'Jewel. Classics of Quiet Luxury' is created as an elegant addition to the iconic images of Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy. These books can enhance the stylish image of a successful girl and become part of the interior of an apartment, restaurant, hotel, and other spaces.

The metallic paper creates a glowing effect on the cover. The colors softly and quietly shimmer. On the spine, the symbol of the book is embossed in silver, enhancing the effect of inner light. The volumetric embossing of figures creates a pleasant tactile sensation.

The text is printed on white paper, soft to the touch. A large and comfortable font has been chosen for the series, which will not tire the eyes.
