Synopsis

In the crumbling house of Zmiy Vashchenko, the last true wizard in Oblya, his three witch daughters sell their gifts to paying clients and are rarely allowed to leave. Undine sees futures in a scrying pool, Rosenrot brews remedies, and the youngest, Marlinchen, can read people through touch.

When the sisters slip out to the new ballet theatre, Marlinchen catches the eye of the lead dancer, Sevastyan Reskin, and her father's grip tightens. As a monster stalks the city's streets, Marlinchen has to decide what her own magic is for.

A gothic horror retelling of the Grimms' "The Juniper Tree," set in the world of The Wolf and the Woodsman.
