Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Meaning of Androsia by Eric Bush.
Ilya doesn’t know who he is. He has no memory of his past, no clue where he came from, and no idea how old he might be. Yet somehow, he possesses knowledge he shouldn’t have and skills he couldn’t have learned. Powerful figures, political, religious, and unknown, seek him out, capture him, follow him. But why?
He wakes in a train station one evening, disoriented and nameless. As he searches for anyone who might recognize him, he meets Katerinya, a young writer drawn to his mystery. She offers him shelter and companionship, and together they begin to unravel the enigma of his identity. Though strangers, their connection deepens, hovering between friendship and something more.
Who is Ilya? And why does everyone seem to want him?
