The Beast for Dina
by Oleksiy Gedeonov and Maxim Rosenfeld
Description
A historical novel with the plot unravelling in mediaeval Kyiv. Although the city is mostly wooden and the St. Sophia Cathedral is still being built, Yaroslav the Wise is already giving away his daughter Elizabeth to the King of Norway, Harald III the Severe. The main character, a young girl named Dina, receives as a gift from her father a mysterious creature from distant lands, which turns out to be a mouse-hunting cat. Dina and her companions are in for many dangerous and fascinating adventures. She even has a hand in a genuine investigation involving forged Byzantine gold coins. After all, her uncle is a jeweller.
Each reader will be captivated by this historical dive, filled with action, just in time to realise that history is still all around us.
