About this audiobook

On a midsummer night in the ancient forests of Rus', a young woman leaps through a sacred fire and lands in a world she never knew existed. Nastya is a village healer, the granddaughter of a witch, and the last keeper of the old Slavic songs—the whispered zagovory that heal the sick, call the rain, and speak to the wind. When her grandmother dies, Nastya inherits an embroidered belt covered in patterns that do not belong to her people. They belong to a civilization across the ocean—the builders of the pyramids, the people of the sun. On Kupala Night, the boundary between worlds is thin. Nastya jumps through the ceremonial fire and finds herself not in the morning dew of her homeland, but in the dusty valley of Teotihuacan, at the foot of the great Pyramid of the Sun. She is lost, alone, and unable to speak the language of this strange new world. But she is not helpless.
