A Time-Travel Historical Novel Rooted in Croatian and Slavic Legends, Set in the Holy Roman Empire.
What would you do if you were suddenly transported 600 years into the past? When twenty-year-old Latin student Jelena is drawn to the mysterious, ruined Well of the Black Queen in the forest near Zagreb, she falls - literally - into 15th-century Croatia. Captured by royal guards and taken to Queen Barbara of Cilli, a woman immersed in the occult and feared as a sorceress, Jelena must navigate a dangerous world of superstition, war, and shifting alliances.As she searches for a way back to her own time, Jelena uncovers secrets hidden within the ancient fortresses of Medvedgrad and Samobor. Within labyrinths of its medieval streets, she crosses paths with both friends and foes and finds herself drawn to Danijel, a guard captain who may hold the key to her fate.
Featuring real historical figures of the Holy Roman Empire, including Queen Barbara of Cilli and her husband, King Sigismund of Luxembourg, and their court visited by such names as King Henry V and Vlad the Impaler, this novel blends history, fantasy, and legend into a page-turning journey through a rarely explored corner of medieval Europe.Perfect for readers of Diana Gabaldon, Philippa Gregory, and Katherine Arden.
