  • MediaDB / «The Snake's Nest" by Yana Lekhchin: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2021 / The Dragon's Lair is an impregnable enchanted mountain. Locked in the depths, a blind weaver spins songs that even a fierce stone warrior can hear, and a cunning slave figures out how to unravel the tangle of semi-precious passages. The princes convene squads to exterminate the winged serpent, which demands an exorbitant tribute. The year is winding down, and the summer solstice is approaching - a day that none of the dragon's captives survived. The roar of shields and whispers of conspiracies, blood feud and alarming prophecies, a copper glow over the battlefield... If the old story about the princely brothers is a wheel going in a circle, then now it has fallen off its axis. And those who want to defeat the monster should be careful not to inadvertently take his place. 5 reasons to read the book: 1. A world inspired by the culture and mythology of different peoples - Slavs, Scandinavians, Turks and many others.2. The scope of events: conspiracies, feuds, battles and travel across a vast country.3. There are no “good” or “bad” in a confrontation; everyone has their own motives, and a person whom some celebrate as a hero may be the embodiment of evil for others.4. Multifaceted living characters. Particular attention is paid to the heroines - they are bright and complex, different from each other.5. A curious system of witchcraft that you have to pay for.
