These were the days when the three Romes had fallen. When the mother of the world had bled, when the Ice Horde had conquered Archangel, when the trees had marched on Muscovy, and when only white-walled Kiev stood against the forest. These were the days when Sasha Witchblood roamed the land, and tread its mud and jewels alike beneath her feet.

Everyone calls Baba Yaga “Grandmother.” For Sasha, it’s the truth. Journey through a Europe being slowly strangled by the forest in adventures where Robert E. Howard meets the Brothers Grimm.

What People Are Saying

…a brutal, cunning heroine who wanders a world made of equal parts history, folklore and fairy tale. This is Red Sonja as written by the Brothers Grimm, with a dash or three of Tanith Lee for flavour, kicking around the forgotten parts of Russia and the Middle East and getting into supernatural trouble.

–Patrick O’Duffy, Goodreads

This is a beautiful little book, with a style that reminds me of Tanith Lee or Catherynne Valente…

–Kenny, Goodreads

Quick collection of evocative short stories. Think traditional Russian folklore through a modern feminist lens. Perfect for a snowy afternoon.

–Emily, Goodreads

A very good dark fantasy anthology that meshes Slavic and European and other mythologies with the dreamlike writing of Tanith Lee.

–Kurt Hardman, Amazon
