The Poison Hut I–II.
Medieval Prague – a city of Gothic cathedrals, winding streets and dark secrets. A city where, beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful life, a dangerous web of intrigue, betrayal and ancient curses is hidden. This is exactly where the new historical novel, The Poison Hut I–II, by Czech author Pavel Hrejsemnou, will take you.
The story takes place in a legendary tavern called the Poison Hut, hidden in a side street of Prague's Větrov district. Its owner is the experienced innkeeper Jan, a man with a grey beard and sharp eyes, who hears more from behind his counter than the average person would want to know. One stormy evening, a mysterious stranger named Matěj appears in the tavern, looking for the most powerful and dangerous man in Prague's underworld – the enigmatic Raven. From this moment on, Jan's peaceful world begins to crumble.
Along with his old flame Ludmila, the wise alchemist Sigismund and the brave Alžběta, the innkeeper becomes entangled in a deadly game of power where much more than just their lives is at stake. The dark secrets of Karlštejn Castle, counterfeit coins from Koněprusy, poisoned beer and ancient rituals that awaken the shadows of the past all come to the surface. And an even more terrifying threat looms over Prague – a being known as the Blind Raven and the mysterious Dark Jewel, whose plans could shake the very foundations of the kingdom.
This two-part novel will guide you through the dark alleys of the Old Town, the underground catacombs beneath Prague Castle, the alchemists' workshops in the Kokořín Rocks and the secret passages of Vyšehrad. The story features real historical figures – including King Wenceslas IV himself – and the realities of the Czech Middle Ages, from the minting of Prague groschen to life in the Kutná Hora mint.
The Poison Hut I–II is not just a story about one man and his tavern. It is an epic tale of courage, friendship, betrayal and the fight between good and evil in a time when laws were fragile and people had to rely solely on their wits and bravery. Immerse yourself in a world where one wrong decision can cost a life, but one right decision can change the fate of an entire kingdom.
