hello & welcome ✦ a novel, a history, a deep dive

This blog was born out of an obsession with a story we couldn't not write.

We are working on an original historical novel set in Prague, 1942, against the backdrop of Operation Anthropoid—the assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich.

It’s not a story about heroes. It’s a story about a young Soviet woman faced with an impossible choice: collaborate or die. It’s about moral decay, the terrifying price of survival, and the ghosts that live in the gray areas of history where simple answers don’t exist. It's psychological, it's dark, and it doesn't look away.

You can find the full story here: → AO3 (English version) → Ficbook (Russian version)

What to expect on this blog? • Updates & Excerpts: Sneak peeks, quotes, and announcements when new chapters drop. • Historical Context: Photos, facts, and reflections on WWII, Prague, and the era that fuels the story. • Writing Process: Our thoughts on crafting difficult characters and navigating complex history.

This is a space for the story to breathe beyond the page. If you're into historical fiction that tackles tough questions, you might find something here.

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to linger.

I sincerely hope that Heaven exists only because of the seven paratroopers who lost their lives on this day in 1942 in the Saints Cyril and Methodius Cathedral.

I hope all of them are in Heaven and that they can see how greatly remembered they are today.

We are Czechs. We will never surrender.

Happy 80th anniversary of Assassinate a Nazi Bitch Day

[lualgeo]

2022 was the 80th Anniversary of Operation Anthropoid, the assassination on Reinheid Heydrich, the then-governor of occupied Czechoslovakia, who is considered by many to be one of the principal architects of the Holocaust. The assassination was carried out on 27th May 1942 by Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš, who later hid here, The Saints Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, where they and their accomplices were discovered on the 18th June. Their discovery led to a six hour long gun battle, during which time the basement they were hiding is was flooded. Rather than allowing themselves to be captured by Nazi forces, they committed suicide. The Saints Cyril and Methodius Cathedral. Somebody had left flowers besides the bullet holes in the wall. Inside the Cathedral crypt  there is a small exhibition about the assassination and its after effects, which is dedicated to the men who died there.
