"Maleficium" is a masterful combination of history and magic that transports the reader to a world full of secrets and dangers. Marcin Mortka has created heroes whose fates we follow with bated breath, discovering with them the secrets of the past and struggling with the forces of evil. This novel is a true feast for lovers of fantasy and history who are looking for an engaging and emotional read.

Marcin Mortka is the author of many fantasy novels and children's books, a translator and seeker of holy peace. His work is characterized by incorrigible optimism, a storytelling style and a great love for history and hard music. In 2022, Wydawnictwo SQN published his next novels, including "Skrzynia pełna dusz" and "Mroźny szlak", and the year 2023 began with a phenomenally received story about the Winter War in a paranormal version, namely "Pasa Ilmarinena".

Only Maleficium allowed me to understand that Marcin Mortka's greatest strength is his heroes, their thoroughly real, living creations. Not so much described as imprisoned on the pages of the novel. Thanks to them, these stories come to life and the choices made really mean something. It may be fiction, but the truth shines through. The truth of a story told with great skill and authorial talent.
