"Takes place on an Island, which is not on the map, but its existence is beyond doubt. It cannot be found in history textbooks, and the events are painfully recognizable. The Middle Ages are intertwined with modernity, the universal with the personal, and tragedy with the grotesque. Here, the serene princes and chairmen of the Island, chroniclers and prophets, the lord of the bees and the talking cat easily coexist. According to ancient prophecy, the Island will face great trials. Will the main character be able to pass them when the ground begins to slip from under his feet?" --
