A new cover reveal and so soon after the last! The year is slowly crawling to an end, the days are getting darker, and new books are emerging out of our pub house to entertain you during the long winter months. The third book of A Town Called River by Igor Rendić is ready to wrap up this action-packed urban fantasy trilogy with a thrilling conclusion!
A River in the Dark shows us how a krsnik keeps his friends close and his nightmares closer, but while the title is dark and the book is full of nightmares, the cover is not. The beatiful golden cover was done by our talented and award-winning artist Korin(a) Hunjak, who always goes out of their way to give us absolute brilliance. As our readers deserve.
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 book will come out on November 27th 2024 in ebook and paperback. You can preorder the ebook! The publishing of this book is backed by City of Rijeka and we’re grateful for their support with this book and the first one in the trilogy, A Town Called River.
You can add the book on Goodreads and The Storygraph!
And if you were waiting for all books in this Slavic fantasy trilogy to be released before investing yourself with the adventures of monster-fighting krnik Paul and his witchy friends while they protect the City of Rijeka, this is the perfect opportunity to read A Town Called River and Seasons of the River.
