Nadya is worried about her best friend Katerina, who has left the orphanage to be married. She knows that something is amiss and that the only person who can help is the witch of the forest.

When the three of them collide, a magical adventure of friendship and bravery ensues as they try to save those they love and protect their world. Told from the perspectives of Zima, Nadya, and Baba Yaga, this delightfully magical tale is filled with everything readers of fantasy and fairy-tale retellings adore: magic, heroism, and whimsy.
