The Premyslid Triple Kingdom stands at a fateful crossroads - either it will accept the domination of the naval powers England and Holland and remain a second-rate continental power, or it will challenge them to a duel with a revolutionarily designed and newly armed fleet. All this takes place in an alternative 17th century, where a mighty empire exists under the rule of the Premyslids, stretching from the Baltic to the Adriatic and from the Elbe to the Dvina. František Novotný comes up with a gripping story in which alchemical magic plays a significant role (the so-called. alchy-punk) realized not by mere magical formulas and work on the Great Magisterium, but by the construction of magical devices, the fruits of a science that can most aptly be described as alchemical engineering. This is coupled with the knowledge of mixing elixirs, including the Immortality Potion, and the rivalry between the secret services for an ancient recipe for a secret warrior substance. How will the struggle between the Western naval powers and the Bohemian Triple Kingdom turn out, and who is the guardian spirit that has watched over the fate of Přemysl's family across the centuries? What about the Maharal's golems and what about Milady de Winter? And where did Elina Makropulos come from? All this and much more can be found in the novel Dryják. Just one sip and you won't put it down until you've finished it.
