Vasilisa

A misfit servant with a dark past, a noble’s son who would give up everything for her, and an invasion that will tear them apart.

Vasilisa, a forest-born servant, has always been an outcast for her wild ways. Only Staver, the master’s son, shows her kindness, and his friendship pulls as strong as the forest.

But when war comes, their paths are ripped apart, and she will need all the cunning and strength of her frightening heritage to save Staver, even though it could separate them forever.

Vasilisa is a retelling of the folktale, Vasilisa and Staver, where “Cinderella saves the prince” with a vivacious heroine, a gentle hero and old fairytale magic.
