Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Witcher: Reynevan—scoundrel, magician, possibly a fool—travels into the depths of war as he attempts to navigate the religious fervors of the fifteenth century.

When the Hussite leaders entrust Reynevan with a dangerous secret mission, he is forced to come out of hiding in Bohmeia and depart for Silesia. At the same time, he strives to avenge the death of his brother and discover the whereabouts of his beloved. Once again pursued by multiple enemies, he must contend with danger on every front. 
 
Full of gripping action replete with twists and mysteries, seasoned with magic and Sapkowski's ever-present wit, fans of the Witcher will appreciate this rich historical epic set during the Hussite Wars.

About Andrzej Sapkowski

Sapkowski was born in 1948 in Poland.

Antroji knyga prasideda kiek vangiau. Ne, veiksmo kaip ir nestinga, bet truputėlį juntamas kiek dirbtinis gumos tempimas. Be to, pan Andrzej mažumėlę jau užsižaidžia su sąrašais (Malkinas, Palkinas, Čalkinas ir Zalkindas... ai, čia ne iš tos knygos, bet esmė ta pati). Bet vis tiek daro tai kokybiška......more

Иронията, съчетана със своего рода романтика, придава особен привкус, крайно интересен. Но вече 120 страници и години след първата книга просто не мога да навляза в сюжета. История......more

Goodreads review by Kristina on June 23, 2024

Antroji Husitų trilogijos dalis – ir vėl malonumas skaityti Sapkowskį bei jo lašeliu fantastikos atmieštą husitų istoriją. „Dievo kariai“ jau yra labiau koncentruoto turinio, palyginus su pirmąja dalimi, kur buvo visko daug ir plačiai. Čia husitai, t. y. Dievo kariai su kardais rankose kyla į žygius......more
