"The magical adventure begun in The Bear and the Nightingale continues as brave Vasya, now a young woman, is forced to choose between marriage or life in a convent and instead flees her home--but soon finds herself called upon to help defend the city of Moscow when it comes under siege"-- - Random House, Inc.
In the sequel to the nationally bestselling The Bear and the Nightingale, a gifted young woman with ties to the old magic of her homeland blazes a trail out of the frozen wilderness and into the court intrigues of Moscow.
âA masterfully told story of folklore, history, and magic with a spellbinding heroine at the heart of it all.ââBooklist (starred review)
Vasilisaâs gift for seeing what others do not won her the attention, even affection, of Morozkoâthe winter demon from her nurseâs stories. But his aid comes at a cost.
Orphaned, named a witch, and cast out by her village, Vasyaâs options are few: resign herself to life in a convent or marriage to a stranger. Both doom her to life in a tower, cut off from the wide world she longs to explore. So instead she chooses adventure, disguising herself as a young man and riding her trusted stallion, Solovey, into the wilderness.
But Vasyaâs exploits soon reunite her with her long-estranged siblings and earn her the admiration of the Grand Prince of Moscow. Disguised as a boy, she must walk a delicate line, safeguarding her family, concealing her identity and navigating her increasingly fraught relationship with Morozkoâeven as she realizes the realm is under threat from mysterious forces only she will be able to stop.
âA compelling, fast-moving story that grounds fantasy elements in a fascinating period of Russian history.ââKirkus Reviews
