The Eighth Sign of the Lion

The Eighth Sign of the Lion is Michael M. Naydan’s sequel to his 2016 novel Seven Signs of the Lion. Nicholas Bilanchuk resurfaces from a fountain before the Lviv Opera House, certain only minutes have passed when in truth ten years are gone. As the city of lions slowly restores his strength, old friends, former loves, and a new love named Andzhela draw him back into life, and long-buried memories surface so that he can finally begin to heal. It unfolds in Lviv in 2019, on the eve of a war few could yet imagine: a story of return, memory, and grace.
