A new solo novel by Lizaveta Myagchilo, the author of mystical horror stories. You'll be immersed in the dark atmosphere of the 18th-century Russian Empire, reminiscent of Gogol's "Viy" and the "Bloody Lady" series, while a destined love story will move you to tears.
The life of a noblewoman's daughter is easy and preordained: find a worthy husband and get used to ruling the new household. But Varvara Glinka, who has fallen in love with her longtime friend and artist, isn't having it. Will she be able to escape this forced marriage with the help of black magic passed on by her dying grandmother and the strange images of an evil spirit, bringing mermaids and ghouls from the swamps to the village? As she navigates the difficult trials of fate, the lady will understand that the world isn't filled with only humans: she will have to reflect on her bitter fate with the brownie, ask the wood goblin for clues, and battle drowners who could drag her to the bottom... In Varvara's new reality, there's no place for balls and tea parties; the cold of the swamp replaces the warmth of embraces, and the smell of dampness and rot replaces the scent of tea roses. Will Varvara be able to escape the undead, or will she become one of them?
This is a story of ambiguous heroes and a newfound family. Within the novel's pages, you will encounter witch familiars and demons, a brownie, swamp lights, a midnight owl, mermaids, and a swamp goblin.
