Description
Olga Gromыko’s many fans have formed polar opinions about the novel “The Flower of the Kamaleander.” Some consider it one of her best books; others—quite the opposite.
Before us is an unusual world, where power belongs to the servants of the cult of Iggra the Twofold Deity, a god that embodies both the light and the dark principles at once. The bearers of “knowledge” are dhery—strange, nightmare-like creatures. No less terrible are the yery, the servants of dhery, who possess crushing magic and ruthlessly deal with those who displease them. The existing order is opposed by the Order of the Rose—about which the people circulate no less terrifying rumors, and whose adherents are called nothing less than “creature-gods.”
At the center of the confrontation between the two cults is a strange company: a wandering hunter with a giant-sized but not very brave pet cat, a hapless watchman, and a reincarnated priest of the creature-gods. Unexpectedly for themselves, this motley team turns out to be capable of much.
