Drozd - The Legend of Barbora

In the midst of a battle and intrigue-ridden Hungary, where the young King Matthias Corvinus is trying to establish a new order, begins the story of a girl who will capture the heart of the monarch himself. A fateful forbidden love unexpectedly interferes with the course of our history. This is the story of the love between the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus and Barbora Edelpöck, about which history is silent. Martina Monošová has dusted off a historical legend and brought it into our fast-paced world. The first part of this unique historical series offers a powerful story, full of romance, adventure, and mystery that will not let you put the book down.
