In the morning, Yimi was surprised to find her husband still asleep, as he always woke up before she did. She rang the bell, but nobody answered. Then she pulled back the bedclothes and recoiled in horror. Courtiers rushed in at her scream; no one could fathom how such a thing could have happened: Bogumir’s body had been sawn in two!
Based on the book Under the Constellation of the Great Bear (revised and expanded edition).
