Battle Hymn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349305986)

Vienna, 1912: Zoltan Vajda has spent nearly five years blending into

the backdrop of Caf? Adriatic, where the bustling city's secrets are

whispered but never heard. As a quiet waiter with a hidden past and

an even more mysterious condition, Zoltan has learned to live

unnoticed, surrounded by the familiar faces of the charming but

troubled Maria Olbricht and the sharp-witted journalist Leopold van

Kunstner. But beneath this calm surface, danger brews.

When Maria falls prey to her half-brother Felix's sinister schemes,

and Leopold's bold articles provoke the wrath of a powerful

nobleman, Zoltan is forced to confront the darkness he's kept at bay

for so long. His emergence draws the attention of the relentless Dr.

Conrad Rodak-Jurga, a folklorist obsessed with capturing a

legendary creature-one Zoltan knows all too well.

As Vienna's streets become the stage for a deadly hunt, Zoltan must

decide whether to flee once more or face the shadows of his past,

risking everything to protect those he has come to care for. In a city

where everyone has something to hide, Zoltan's secret could be the

most dangerous of all.
