Lotos (2026)

To the whole world, Oliver is just a boy who disappeared. To Sydney, he was everything. She learns to live with the emptiness he left behind, but never fills it. When Oliver unexpectedly returns after two decades of imprisonment, he is not the boy she knew. He is a stranger amid the ruins of his own memories and knows nothing about the new, strange world around him. Yet the bond between them remains just as strong. As their rediscovered closeness begins to grow into something more, they both discover that Olivers nightmare is far from over now that he is home. This Czech-language novel is by Jennifer Hartmann.
