Successors of Triglav. Book Two. The Gates of Winter
978-5-6052552-2-2
Across the Dramsky Range, a land of snowy phantoms and impregnable mountain peaks, lies the path that leads Lanek and his friends to the capital of the New Empire. But it seems that Lady Fortune has turned her back on them. A blizzard took them by surprise, the cart broke down, strange creatures attacked the convoy, and to make matters worse, the Nadgornaya Channel has run dry.
If there is no water in the canal, the barges will remain at the jetty — and then the guards will certainly catch the fugitives.
Who will help the strangers in the settlement of the Draman miners, who will hide them from the all-seeing eye of the mechanical tracker of Equilibrium? Fortunately, the guards and the administrator have other things on their minds: unrest is brewing amongst the unemployed Ulgan boatmen.
Will the four travelers manage to escape from Zmeev Nasest on the last barge, or will they have to solve the riddle of why the canal has suddenly run dry? Will they discover the origin of the Antamar family crest on the door of the abandoned house, and what calamity lies dormant beneath the mist-shrouded ruins of the forgotten kingdom of the Velt giants?
Age rating: 12+
