Many are called. Few answer.
Slava thought that the hard part of her journey was over when she escaped giant wolves, angry bandits, and scheming sorcerers to make it to the Lesnograd kremlin. But the apparent safety of this outpost of civilization may be just an illusion. A curse has been let loose, one aimed straight at Slava's family.
Slava has always been a most unlikely hero. Now she must summon up all her courage in order to stop the curse--or perhaps she must, at the gods' behest, be its bearer.
