Life is a struggle for a middle-aged gypsy widow in the ­Baroque era. Morijana’s clan roams the forested hills of Siebenbürgen, a ­remote and rural part of the multiethnic and multi­lingual ­Habsburg empire.

Moral disclaimer: This crypto-feminist novel plays its game not only with folklore and historic detail. It is adult fiction in the very sense, featuring deviant sex, arcane practices and fractured genre stereotypes. Readers under the age of 18 please refrain, for your own good!
