Lord of the Flies
From the Publisher
The latest installment in the captivating Winternight Trilogy, following the national bestsellers The Bear and the Nightingale and The Girl in the Tower, this sumptuous historical fantasy from the prolific and imaginative Katherine Arden continues the story of Vasya, a young woman with exceptional gifts.
In the wintry world of medieval Russia, where the line between myth and reality remains ambiguous, Vasya had always been an outsider. Born with the ability to see the magical spirits that guard the land, she is viewed with suspicion in her village, and eventually is forced to flee Moscow for the northern wilderness. There, she hopes to find a safe haven, far from the react ions of those who do not understand her.
However, even in the deepest forests, Vasya cannot escape her destiny. Faced with dark forces that threaten both the mortal world and the supernatural realm, she must embrace her powers to protect her beloved homeland, regardless of the personal cost. This epic tale of folklore, faith and fate sees Vasya navigating a complex world of political intrigue, family loyalty and her own burgeoning abilities.
Arden's evocative and immersive prose transports readers to a bygone era, seamlessly blending history, mythology and adventure. The Winter of the Witch is a spellbinding conclusion to the acclaimed Winternight Trilogy, solidifying Arden's reputation as a master storyteller.
