Once upon a time there was a kingdom with a good king, a kind princess and a bad sorcerer... Or was it? Why do we blindly believe the story we are told without any doubt? And what would you do if you met the bad guy from a fairy tale and discover the story had it all wrong? Well, imagine yourself going on a vacation to your relatives expecting nothing but the usual how-are-you-s, what's-new-s and how's-the-school-s and getting a 500 years old wizard with a disturbing tendency to break natural laws and turning your world upside-down just for the heck of it, because this is exactly what happened to me one summer and this is my story.

About the author
Susana Sparrow
1 book4 followersIt seems I should write about myself in third person so:
Susana Sparrow, her real name is now Zuzana Hvižďáková (no, you are not expected to twist your tongue on that one), was born in the middle of Europe where she lives to this day.
After university she was bugged by her husband to put all that reading, she does all the time, to good use, so she wrote her fist book.
Now all her time is consumed by her infant son. Even now she is sanctifying precious milk-making sleeping time to write this while another book is trying to get out of her head.
Susana does not know what else she should write, so she is going to stop now.

This was quite fun. The young female protagonist goes to visit relatives in Europe. There are language problems for her except for those who do speak English. But the adventure begins when she goes to the cave surrounded by mythology.
I don't want to give anything away but magic happens. Lots of magic. Some quite dangerous. Remember language issues and trying to remain a good house guest for her relatives. Oh, then add a romance that is quite impossible on so many levels. Yep, now you have a story. I quite enjoyed it and hope everyone gets a chance to read it.
Yeah, I know. I don't usually like romance. But this one has so many problems most don't have. And this protagonist is strong and stands for her feminist ideals in spite of all the magic. This kept it interesting for me. I hope it is for you, too.
