BOOKSTAR AWARD 2021
Another crime drama that is completely different from any book in that genre.
The action follows the destinies of two young Roma, who end up in a courtroom by chance and experience a verdict that opens a series of events that no one could have imagined.
The story of Aisha and Gabriel, of Pavle and Jovana, is the story of the executioners who become victims and the victims who become executioners of their own destiny. It can turn into anyone's story, but it immediately applies to each of us. That is why you will read this book in one breath, and the silhouettes of its heroes will be anchored deep inside you.

DECA ZLA (CHILDREN OF EVIL)
Translation: Kristina Velevska
At the heart of the novel is a dramatic murder, and the search for the perpetrator will lead to a series of other events, which will reveal that it is a crime of passion, revenge, warning and symbolism.
Even in a system deeply scratched by the corruption, there is a place for heroes.
