The article discusses the upcoming release of the new mystery thriller 'Burn the Border' by Czech author Jana Jašová, who is a Magnesia Litera Award winner and a multiple-time nominee. The book is scheduled for publication on February 19 and is set against the backdrop of a traditional witch-burning night in the Bohemian region of Železné hory, where ancient folklore suggests evil must be purged. The protagonist, Aneta, returns to her childhood village not merely to revisit old memories but to confront the secrets that continue to haunt her.

The plot unfolds during the filipojakubská night, a time when dark forces are believed to awaken, coinciding with traditional springtime festivities. Aneta's return to the picturesque village where she first experienced love and loss is compounded by the unsettling realization that someone knows her hidden secrets and is blackmailing her. This adds an element of urgency to her homecoming, as she is determined to uncover the identity of the extorter and put an end to the harassment once and for all.

Jašová’s narrative promises a gripping tale that intertwines personal history with broader themes of guilt and the grave repercussions of past choices. With her trusted friend at her side, Aneta's journey explores the tension between confronting one’s past and the lingering specters of unresolved issues. The book's release is anticipated not only for its thrilling content but also as another significant contribution to contemporary Czech literature.
