Krátky popis
Cosmically fast-paced and wildly imaginative, this debut novel is a
perfect potion of magic and suspenseOnce a city of enormous wealth
and culture, Prague was home to emperors, alchemists, astronomers,
and, as it’s whispered, hell portals. When music student Sarah
Weston lands a summer job at Prague Castle cataloging Beethoven’s
manuscripts, she has no idea how dangerous her life is about to
become.&,nbsp,Prague is a threshold,&,nbsp,Sarah is
warned,&,nbsp,and it is steeped in blood.Soon after Sarah
arrives, strange things begin to happen. She learns that her
mentor, who was working at the castle, may not have committed
suicide after all. Could his cryptic notes be warnings? As Sarah
parses his clues about Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved,” she manages
to get arrested, to have tantric sex in a public fountain, and to
discover a time-warping drug. She also catches the attention of a
four-hundred-year-old dwarf, the handsome Prince Max, and a
powerful U.S. senator with secrets she will do anything to hide.
