A Slavic Supernatural Thriller.By ANNA GOGOLEVA
Length2h 53m
About this audiobook
The village of Vereja is dying. A black malefice has crept in, killing the old and the children, silencing the dogs, and freezing the very earth. Young herbalist Anna, guided by her dead grandmother’s prophecy, must enter the Forbidden Forest – a place of talking trees, weeping butterflies, and a copper‑scaled dragon named Tugarin. To save her village, she must find the mythical Flower of Light. But the dragon is not a mere monster: he is a cursed prince who sold his soul to the Black God Chernobog. Accompanied only by her wise, sneezing St. Bernard, Bim, Anna will journey through a world of Slavic spirits – Leshy, Rusalkas, Baba Yaga, and the Vodyanoy – and discover that the greatest weapon against darkness is not magic, but empathy, tears, and the courage to listen.
