The Ouroboros Cycle, Book 4

Set in 1899 Prague, Doctor Varanus grapples with her mentor Iosef's obsession with the "Black Goat" cults while dealing with personal turmoil. As Iosef seeks solace in occult studies, Varanus faces a more pressing issue: her son Friedrich has immersed himself in the city's bohemian circles, mingling with artists and revolutionaries. The narrative explores themes of grief, the search for meaning, and the tension between superstition and rationality against a backdrop of post-war recovery.
