The audiobook includes the works “Taligoy Ballad” and “Red on Red,” as well as a bonus track by Kanzler Gi.
“Red on Red” is the literary basis for the film adaptation of Vera Kamsha’s fantasy cycle “The Echoes of Eternity.”
“Echoes of Eternity” is often called one of the strongest examples of historical fantasy in the post-Soviet space.
The world seems painfully familiar and almost transparent: an all-powerful cardinal and a queen doomed to suffer. A young provincial on a ridiculous horse and a handsome prince raised in exile. An invincible scoundrel and a beauty who believes herself ugly. A wicked, thieving drunk and a wise mentor. Everything is so recognizable, so clear… And yet there are ghostly monks, a ghostly tower, a ghostly crown; poison, gold, and steel. A family ring is at stake, victory is at stake, life and death themselves are at stake. One bullet extinguishes three candles. One defies seven. Wine and blood flow, a song rings out… The world still seems understandable — but nothing is more hazy than the obvious and nothing quieter than a cry.
