Chronicles of the Ash Spring. Book 1. The Witches' Magma
14.99 €
In a post-apocalyptic New Middle Ages, where eternal cold and gloom reign, the skies are covered in ash, and science is considered heresy, a young inquisitor investigates a case of hexing, desperately trying to discern reality and truth where everyone else sees darkness and witchcraft.
Anna Starobinets's new novel is a unique genre construct at the intersection of detective fiction, science fiction, and fantasy, allowing the reader to peer into the terrifying dark past that has replaced a bright future.
Seventeen centuries have passed since a global nuclear catastrophe that nearly wiped humanity from the face of the earth. The survivors, having lost all the scientific and technological advances of the old way of life, have entered a new cycle. The climate has changed, religion has changed, the speed and lifespan have changed, and animals have changed. So much has changed, only human behavior remains unchanged, and the New Middle Ages are painfully similar to the old. An epidemic is raging in the village of Chistye Kholmy, and the residents are convinced it's the work of a witch—the local seamstress. If they throw her into the volcano, life will immediately improve.
