This book starts right after the second book in the trilogy, The Girl in the Tower. Moscow has been struck by disaster - fire, fighting, and the fear of things unseen. Bearing the blame is Vasilisa Petrovana - Vasya.Vasya finds herself caught between two worlds - the magical world of magical creatures and the world of growing faith and skepticism of all things magical. As Moscow and her family and loved ones move toward a fatal fight with the Tatars, she struggles to find a way to combine her love of both worlds. In the process she finds herself caught between two mystical brothers - the chaos king and the winter king. Will she succeed in her quest and be able to save both her family and her country
? Who will win her heart?
Vasya is strong and determined, anxious to help erase the wrongs she blames herself for. She wonders if she can really unite both of the worlds that claim her.
Filled with mysticism and realism, this was a wonderful series; one that I will read again from beginning to end. And enjoy it just as much the second time around.
