The Fiery Three: The Storm

A suspenseful historical novel that reveals our shared history and tells the story of eternal human nature, forged by the fight for survival, success, closeness, and love. A highly addictive read.

The heroes of The Fiery Three saga face a long winter. If they want to see spring, they must find appropriate hiding places and allies. Flame, now the leader of Kagan’s archers, faces the deadliest task of his life as Kagan sends him deep into the territory of the mighty Onogurs. Vlad and Vuk struggle to survive on the harsh plains, as pursuers are never far behind. Živa wins over a Bavarian mercenary, but her fight is far from over. An unusual alliance helps her to survive, but she nonetheless picks up new enemies.

The Storm is the third novel in the new historical saga The Fiery Three by Igor Karlovšek, who is known, among other works, for the collection The Fiery Tribe. The suspenseful adventure novel takes place during the settlement of the Slavs in the territory of present-day Slovenia, before the formation of Sam’s Tribal Union and the principality of Carantania. Historical facts (the novel is also accompanied by a foreword by historian Miha Pohar) are interwoven with a coming-of-age story, (first) love, finding one’s place in the world and fighting for survival.
