A River in the Dark
A krsnik keeps his friends close and his nightmares closer.
Licking his wounds from the earth-shattering battles in Seasons of the River—trying not to beat himself up over bringing his friends into harm’s way again and again—Paul, the krsnik of the City of Rijeka, will find himself up to his ears in the biggest challenge of his life, one rising from an unexpected source, all but lost to memory.
His newfound duties as the magical protector of his city take him across the forests of his ancestral region, hot on the heels of missing tourists, misfortunate hikers, and new sorts of monsters lurking in the wilderness. All the while, messages keep appearing in his dreams, with next to no way to trace their origin in the waking world.
As the pleas keep getting more urgent, and no less incomprehensible, Paul will need to step up to his inheritance once and for all, follow the traces of his family legacy, and lean on his friends to guide him places he never would have dared venture on his own—or risk losing everything he’s worked for, along with his own self.
Deep in the dark, a river flows…
The thrilling conclusion to the Slavic urban fantasy trilogy A Town Called Rive.

About the author
Igor Rendić
83 books40 followersI'm a freelance translator and speculative fiction writer. My fiction in Croatian has so far won seven awards, which I'm really proud of, and I've published several stories in English and (so far) two novels - A Town Called River and Seasons of the River, urban fantasy adventures set in Croatia.
Literary translations are my main jam, but I've also had experience with everything from work with tourist and PR agencies to banks and museums. I've written copy for a similarly wide range of clients.
When I'm not translating, writing or reading (seriously, I read *a lot*) you can find me taking long walks while listening to podcasts and audio dramas - or if there's a sci-fi con nearby, I'm either at a quiz or hanging out with my geeky friends.
