Paperback. In the frozen heart of Bohemia, the river never forgets. Magdalena Havel, the village scribe and healer of Reka Mrtvych, knows this truth better than anyone. She has spent her life documenting the births, deaths, and the quiet, relentless cruelties of a world ruled by cold and the whims of noblemen. Her reality is shattered when she discovers the body of an Imperial tax collector, his tongue cut out, a strange rune carved into his chest, and his eyes frozen open in the winter ice.The dead man, Freiherr Anton von Strahlenberg, was a man of means, a relative of the Emperor, and a man who had asked too many questions. Just days before his murder, he had come to Magdalena, inquiring about a series of village women who had mysteriously vanished over the past year. Anna, Marta, Eliska, Zuzana-each was a woman Magdalena knew, each a life that had been dismissed as a runaway, an accident, or a wife escaping a cruel husband. Now, the man who sought to investigate their disappearance has been silenced.Certain that the missing women and the baron's death are connected, Magdalena defies the village's passive silence and embarks on a relentless quest for the truth. Her investigation plunges her into a nightmarish conspiracy that runs deeper than the frozen river itself. She uncovers a hidden stone hut containing the preserved bodies of the missing women, a key bearing the ancient symbol of a double cross, and a network of smugglers operating with impunity under the protection of the local lord, Count Josef von Salm.But the rot goes far deeper than simple greed. It leads to a secret from four hundred years past, buried in the bowels of a crumbling fortress-a confession from the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, detailing a legacy of brutality and a pact with the Emperor to protect the von Salm family's crimes. This book is the ultimate weapon, the one piece of evidence the powerful count fears most, and he will stop at nothing to destroy it.Forced into a desperate flight from the law and a powerful, vengeful family, Magdalena joins forces with Captain Erik Novotny, a scarred investigator from Vienna, and her long-lost love, Karel Benes, a broken soldier who has also seen too much. Their race for survival leads them across a brutal winter landscape of frozen forests and forgotten catacombs, where the line between justice and vengeance blurs."Beneath the Frozen Water" is a gothic historical thriller steeped in atmospheric suspense and a chilling, relentless mystery. It is a story of a woman's indomitable courage in the face of impossible odds, the unyielding power of the truth, and the enduring echoes of the dead. For fans of The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon and the dark historical dramas of C.J. Sansom, this is a haunting tale of justice, memory, and the secrets that the frozen water can hold. The river remembers everything. but will Magdalena survive to tell its story? When a mutilated official is found in the ice, a village healer must unravel a web of ancient conspiracies and deadly secrets to uncover the truth behind a string of disappearances.
