A haunting tale of love, madness, and the thin line between the real and the unreal.
Ever since childhood, Rupert Lux has feared the oceanic god that lives inside his right eye. Doctors call it hysteria. Rupert calls it possession.
Haunted by guilt and unable to escape the creature's hold, he becomes convinced there's only one way to be free, by destroying the eye itself. But when Anastasia T. Grace, a clairvoyant guided by visions and loss, enters his life, her love stirs both hope and terror. Can she save him from his own darkness, or will she be drawn into it?
From the shimmering deserts of Sinai to the shadowlands of the mind, The Nameless Land blurs dream and reality in a mesmerizing journey of two broken souls searching for redemption.
A sequel to Anastasia's Midnight Song, but powerful enough to stand on its own, this metaphysical novel combines stream-of-consciousness intensity with surreal adventure. Nothing is certain. Not memory. Not love. Not even the self.
"Beautifully written... You never quite know what is real and what the characters have imagined." - Long and Short Reviews.

" [...] All the rulers of the world must face their destiny. [...]"
I'm glad I had the opportunity to read M. Laszlo's work again. This time, I chose "The Nameless Land." The author perfectly combines realism and dreamlike elements. You have to read carefully to fully understand everything. It's not a light read, but it's a quick read.
The plot is captivating.
I'm glad I got to know the main character, Anastasia, better this time. She's blind. Why does a group of spiritualists kidnap her, and what do they want to use her for? You'll be shocked to learn the truth. The author has already taken care of that well. Will she manage to escape? Or will she fall out of the rain into the gutter?
There's no shortage of desire for love here. But will it be pure love? Or perhaps torn apart by a certain demon hiding in the eye of another important character? Of course, I won't tell you that.
I also liked Rupert's character. He struggles with his demons and strange dreams. He dreams of Anastasia. Can his love survive in this cruel world? M. Laszlo portrayed this character very well.
Are you more of an Anastasia or a Rupert? That's a very difficult question, because I liked both characters.
You can easily read this book without having read the first volume, "Anastasia's Midnight Song." However, I recommend reading them in order.
I'm eagerly awaiting the continuation of this story.
I'm glad the author has transported us to his own world.
Anastasia and Rupert take us to 1919 and 1920.
In my opinion, this installment is much better than the first. It's clear that M. Laszlo has made tremendous progress in his writing. His books are worth reading.
