The Winter of the Witch
One girl can make a difference... Moscow is in flames; leaving its people searching for answers and someone to blame. Vasilisa; a girl with extraordinary gifts; must flee for her life; pursued by those who blame their misfortune on her magic. Then a vengeful demon returns; stronger than ever. Determined to engulf the world in chaos; he finds allies among men and spirits. Mankind and magical creatures alike find their fates resting on Vasya's shoulders. But she may not be able to save them all.
The Girl in The Tower
The court of the Grand Prince of Moscow is plagued by power struggles and rumours of unrest. Meanwhile bandits roam the countryside; burning the villages and kidnapping its daughters. Setting out to defeat the raiders; the Prince and his trusted companion come across a young man riding a magnificent horse. Only Sasha; a priest with a warrior's training; recognises this 'boy' as his younger sister; thought to be dead or a witch by her village. But when Vasya proves herself in battle; riding with remarkable skill and inexplicable power; Sasha realises he must keep her secret as she may be the only way to save the city from threats both human and fantastical. . .
The Bear and The Nightingale
In a village at the edge of the wilderness of northern Russia; where the winds blow cold and the snow falls many months of the year; an elderly servant tells stories of sorcery; folklore and the Winter King to the children of the family; tales of old magic frowned upon by the church. But for the young; wild Vasya these are far more than just stories. She alone can see the house spirits that guard her home; and sense the growing forces of dark magic in the woods. . .
