A passage between a hospital room, a Georgian garden and centuries that refuse to remain past.
The Finn Dynasty • Book Two
The river remembers.
When her father lies critically ill, Anastasia follows three taps into a River of Time and finds herself moving through centuries of Georgian history beside a hunted man named Iakobi.
A novel by William Ochs
Kindle and retail paperback editions are available through Amazon. Hardcovers are fulfilled for Donegal Studio by Lulu.
Anastasia’s ordinary world is anchored to her father’s hospital room. The other waits beyond the garden—a moving river that carries her into danger, loss and the long memory of Georgia.
Iakobi is hunted, wounded and trying to protect the family taken from him. Anastasia needs him to survive the past. He needs her for reasons neither of them yet understands.
Across kingdoms, monasteries, invasions and moments history did not fully record, King Tamar’s guidance and a mystery within the Finn family draw both travelers toward the same question: what do we owe the people whose stories reached us?
The scholarship waits behind the story. Anastasia experiences the choices, uncertainty and human cost first.
A passage between a hospital room, a Georgian garden and centuries that refuse to remain past.
A hunted nobleman, a missing family and an unlikely bond forged under pursuit.
Documented history, living tradition and clearly identified fictional interpretation brought into one journey.
