The King's Fourth Dog

The plot of the novel takes the reader to the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries to the reign of Wenceslas IV. In a kingdom where everyone fights everyone, Hynek Tas of Bor, a hard-trained medieval bodyguard, returns from Italy after many years. After a conflict with the royal city of Beroun, he comes very close to being hanged, but ends up in the king's service. The protagonist seems to be a man without feeling or emotion, who can watch his opponent's life slipping away without blinking, but at the same time, because of the loss of his dog, he declares enmity against King Sigismund and thus unleashes one of the greatest skirmishes of the time. The story takes place mostly in Bohemia, but takes the reader far beyond its borders. The reader will also be able to meet the representative of the Pannic Unity Henry of Rosenberg and the all-powerful sub-chamberlain Sigismund Huler, the ethereal, pure and loving Blanka of Lazce or the sensual, passionate and mysterious Sofia Mafredonni.
