Summary
Daria Krešić: The Power of Albiur
How nice it is to be eighteen and be head over heels in love. Bit će da nema ljepše stvari na svijetu. For Loreta Denona, a shaken Puležanka, it is surely the highlight of her life. And that would be a nice love story with a romantic ending that nobody but Oliver and Loreta would be too interested in. Except that he might make the life of Sasha, Loreta's friend from childhood, who sees their friendship in a slightly different light.
But outside that small circle there are forces that they are completely unaware of. There is a legend, there is a prediction, there is a conspiracy two thousand years old. The world as we know it is on the brink of a war of cataclysmic proportions. And all the lines of ancient sins, forbidden loves, torture murders, sworn revenges, ambitions of the secret rulers of worlds next to ours, are gathered in one person - Loretta Denoni, who has no idea about it.
And when the foretold omen becomes clear to everyone, unimaginable cohorts of the most evil demons, assault squads of the angelic choir, frantic followers of the enigmatic Lilith will descend on Pula. Between them and Loreta will stand a renegade demon full of secrets, a renegade angel with unusual powers and an ordinary young man whose love is stronger than fate.
Daria Keršić in her first novel "The Power of Albiura", the first part of the "Albiurana" trilogy, invented an intriguing story about the fate of the world hanging by a thread, and the thread is in the hands of an ordinary teenage girl who just wants to live an ordinary life. Will she succeed and what price will she have to pay to achieve it?
