Eselmir and the five magical gifts News

The trilogy is now complete!

Weaving together all the separate loose threads of the Pirin trilogy may seem an uncanny feat, and yet this is precisely Sebastiano B. Brocchi’s great accomplishment in the final volume of the trilogy, “The Gests of Nhalbar”, translated in English by Giovanni Carmine Costabile. Prepare yourself, o reader, to meet old and new friends and foes, prepare yourself to see them turn their coats, prove true, stand together or against each other, face many challenges, fight, and, above all, fulfil their fate in finding Wisdom. In the epic succession of trials and battles leading all the way up to a final confrontation of colossal proportions, every reader will understand what it means enduring the darkness until “the Coming of the Day.”

We are pleased to announce the publication of "Hairam the Queen - Pirin Trilogy - Book II", the amazing high fantasy novel by Sebastiano B. Brocchi, translated into English by Giovanni Carmine Costabile.
Verily Brocchi's imagination, mastery of symbolism, and insight is so great that one feels inspired to compose some flight of fancy of his own, in the trail of the Swiss writer.

Readers of the first volume of the Pirin trilogy are already familiar with this sort of inventiveness, happily married with a profoundity of thought, but they will still be surprised by the many turns unfolding in the narrative, as well as by its tackling, this time, a single, problematic issue: trust.
In the sequence of adventures leading to an unforeseen ending, even you, dear reader, may find answers you had been looking for, and finally understand what it means “for Lothriel to have a Queen”.
