The Dragon of Prespa trilogy offers three mutually contradictory versions of a monster's appearance in Great Prespa, the lake shared by three small countries prone to demons and misfortune: Greece, North Macedonia and Albania. The beast's onslaught is sweeping, changing the climate, politics and economy and bringing disasters, uprootings and deaths, and each country understands its manifestations in its own way. This volume gives the view from the Albanian shore, hit by an unprecedented frost, whose investigators, women archers and priestesses who study dragons, struggle to solve the riddle of the haunted lake without knowing that they are part of it. It is both the end and the beginning of the trilogy, which can be read in any order.
