It’s been a year since a violent Viking terrorized the small village of Zmeyreka and Anya and her foolish friend Ivan saved a friendly dragon from being sacrificed for his magic.

But things still aren’t safe in the kingdom of Kievan Rus’.

After embarking on a journey to bring her papa home from war, Anya discovers a powerful forest creature terrorizing travelers. But she soon learns that he’s not the monster the kingdom should fear. There’s an even greater evil that lurks under the city.

Can Anya stop the monster, save her papa, and find her way home? Or will the secrets of Kiev leave Anya and her friends trapped beneath the city forever?

Stella I. ★★★★★

The pacing picks up right where the first book left off, and I loved how the dragon’s magic still feels central without rehashing old plot beats. The village of Zmeyreka comes alive again with details that made me feel like I was walking through the mud and market stalls.

Lucy ★★★★★

I was nervous a sequel would lose the charm of the first book, but the way Anya’s growth is handled here feels so natural, and the wintery village setting is just as vivid as before. The dragon’s presence is still wonderfully woven into the plot without overshadowing the human stakes.

Lucy ★★★★★

The pacing picks up beautifully once Anya and Ivan head back into the forest, and that final twist with the dragon’s magic genuinely caught me off guard. I stayed up way too late finishing it, but the way the village’s fear and hope are woven together made it worth it.
