Žižka, the One-Eyed

Žižka, the One-Eyed

The quick temper of Jan Žižka, a one-eyed warrior, thrusts him into leadership of a revolution that will challenge the very foundations of medieval society. Could the love of a widowed queen help him overcome a devastating wound in time to stave off wave after wave of invading armies? "Jan Žižka is the unforgettable center character ... memorable and moving ... a wonderfully earthy and panoramic warrior-centered historical novel reminiscent of Morgan Llwelyn's Lion of Ireland. Highly recommended." -Kirkus Historical Novel Reviews "Fuxa brings to life the fiery, inspirational general and an epic era ... [with] a romantic subplot ... skillfully crafted ... Žižka's narrative ... effectively builds suspense ... The story moves along quickly ... graphic descriptions ... transported me into the world of the Hussites. Compelling depictions of the battles ... peasant women fought in his armies. No wonder Žižka became a legend in his lifetime! ... treat yourself to this book." -Review in "Naše rodina"
