In
a
remote
village
surrounded
by
vast
forests
on
the
border
of
Moldova
and
Ukraine,
sisters
Liba
and
Laya
have
been
raised
on
the
honeyed
scent
of
their
Mami's
babka
and
the
low
rumble
of
their
Tati's
prayers.
But
when
a
troupe
of
mysterious
men
arrives,
Laya
falls
under
their
spell
-
despite
their
mother's
warning
to
be
wary
of
strangers.
And
this
is
not
the
only
danger
lurking
in
the
woods.
As
dark
forces
close
in
on
their
village,
Liba
and
Laya
discover
a
family
secret
passed
down
through
generations.
Faced
with
a
magical
heritage
they
never
knew
existed,
the
sisters
realize
the
old
fairy
tales
are
true...and
could
save
them
all.
"With
luscious
and
hypnotic
prose,
Rena
Rossner
tells
a
gripping,
powerful
story
of
family,
sisterhood,
and
two
young
women
trying
to
find
their
way
in
the
world."--Madeline
Miller,
author
ofThe
