In the year 1292, no one would have said that just a few years earlier, famine and unrest had ravaged the Křivoklát Castle area. It was the daughter of a metallurgist named Hana who saved Křivoklátsko, the Forest of Crooked Logs, from Brandenburg mercenaries at that time. However, the past left scars on her, forcing her into hiding. Everything changes when she encounters a mysterious stranger who initiates her into ancient writings. As Hana hears the words from the De rerum natura manuscript, she remembers her father’s tale of a celestial blacksmith who forges elements of the world within distant stars. Her understanding of nature brings her back to her lost childhood and painful memories that will help her confront the visions of phantoms, cold, and unrest that are destined to return in the future.
The story unfolds ten years after the original legend of the Forest and is supplemented by additional tales and well-known legends from the Bronze Age, through Celtic settlements, until the present day. You will learn about the changes in the landscape and climate over millennia, our own history, and scientific knowledge from the last years regarding the origin and development of forests, the universe, and life.
The e-book includes more than 150 pictures.
