Beschreibung

Quo Vadis, is a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. The novel Quo Vadis tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Ligia (or Lygia), and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. It takes place in the city of Rome under the rule of emperor Nero around AD 64.

Sienkiewicz studied the Roman Empire extensively prior to writing the novel, with the aim of getting historical details correct. As such, several historical figures appear in the book. As a whole, the novel carries an outspoken pro-Christian message. This novel contributed to Sienkiewicz's Nobel Prize for literature.

    In the depths of a remote forest, an enchanted castle preys on unwary travellers. The servants of the Goddess Morana sacrifice to their dark mistress every soul who crosses its threshold. One terrible night, three people who should never have met find themselves trapped there: a spoiled lady escaping an unwanted marriage, an aging warrior-prince on a deadly mission, and a resourceful rogue caught up in a botched heist. As their destinies entwine and the dawn approaches, the solution to the castle’s riddle becomes clear: if they want to escape, one of them must die. 
    A dark fantasy tale inspired by Slavic folklore, Dark Woods, Deep Water is the debut novel by Croatian author Jelena Dunato. Set in an intricately imagined world that staggers the line between fairytale and brutality, this novel will appeal to fans of Katherine Arden and Naomi Novik, as well as lovers of classic Gothic fiction. 
    Praise for Dark Woods, Deep Water: 
    "DARK WOODS, DEEP WATER is an enthralling dark fantasy with a gritty, gothic heart. There are no heroes here: instead the characters' varying shades of villainy fit perfectly into this horror-laced tale. Nail-biting, grisly, and genuinely chilling." 
    — Jess Hyslop, author of Miasma 
    "Dark Woods, Deep Water drew me into its spell, weaving its beautiful threads around me until I looked up and realized I'd been reading long past the time I should have been asleep. From the first page, I knew I'd follow these characters into whatever dangers lay in wait. A gorgeous, layered, compelling tale in a world both familiar and strange." 
    — Kate Heartfield, bestselling author of The Embroidered Book

    If your memories don't belong to you, then who are you? 
    In a world ruled by dust storms, the Library is humanity's last bastion. Here, the past flows through the veins of the living Mnemosyne Vines. For Linnea, the faithful guardian of this sacred garden, every memory is a priceless treasure to be protected. 
    But a sinister disease begins to spread within the Library's walls: The Mnemosyne Strain. This plague, which seizes the minds of visitors and traps them in the sweet but deadly embrace of lost memories, is the legacy of the brilliant founder, Aris Thorne. On his quest to conquer death and loss, Thorne created a "living memory"—a world that bends reality and operates by its own laws. 
    To end this madness, Linnea breaks the rules and dives into the depths of Thorne's mind, into a world fraught with danger and impossibilities. But every step she takes brings her closer not only to the truth but also to conspiracies that push the Library to the brink of civil war and to secrets that will shake the foundations of her own identity. 
    Just when she thinks she can silence Thorne's echo, she awakens older, more powerful gods who have been slumbering in the universe's silence. The war has only just begun. 
    "The Mnemosyne Strain" is a breathtaking journey into memory, identity, divinity, and the cost of being human. In this epic science fiction adventure where order and chaos collide, you will witness how a single memory can change the fate of the entire universe.
