The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy, #1)

by Katherine Arden · Winternight Trilogy series

In medieval Russia, Vasya can see the protective household spirits her family has forgotten, even as the old magic fades before creeping Christianity. When a malevolent force awakens, only her wild gifts and courage can save her village from the darkness gathering at winter's edge. Arden conjures a spellbinding fusion of Russian folklore and feminist defiance.
