Descripción
"Forest born! Ogre child! You're nothing but a demon wild!"
Vasilisa has always been strong. She's strong enough to break the arm of the bully that daily taunts her. She won't because she and her mother are servants at the Orlov manor, and her mother would be punished for her retaliation. Instead Vasilisa bides her time until she is sixteen and can return to the forest.
Only Staver, the master's son, shows her kindness. His friendship pulls as strong as the forest, but their classes are divided forever by law. She is a forest born, fatherless servant and her future at the manor holds mockery filled drudgery.
War threatens. The forest calls. Will she stay to protect the one who can never be more than a friend, or flee to the peace that the forest offers?
A retelling of the Russian fairytale Vasilisa and Staver
