After a long long time I have submitted the illustrations I had made this winter for the book Stín Černého hvozdu ("Shadow of the Black Forest") written by my friend Míla "Roggy" Linc and published this June in Straky na vrbě publishing house - Prague, Czech Rep.

The book is a dark fantasy novel, IMHO a little bit similar to the books by polish author Andrzej Sapkowski (but not the Witcher saga, but those new, concerning the hussite wars in Silesia and Bohemia).

The story takes place in a world similar to 14th century Europe. In a time of war between the kingdom of Granice and its longstanding rival- the Duchy of Černobor, a young minstrel Žibřid (pronounced Je-brz-ed, more or less ) and new appointed sheriff Richard are forced to travel far into the enemy territory to find Richards kidnapped sister and murderers of minstrels family.
