In a village bound by ancient pacts, breaking one tradition could unleash an eternal winter.
The remote village of Priluki has always lived by the old ways. Its people leave offerings for the Leshy, the forest spirit, and whisper prayers to the Domovoy, the household guardian. They know the rules: do not whistle in the house, do not offend the water, and never, ever break a covenant with the Forest.
But when a jealous heart commits a desperate act of black magic, the delicate balance shatters. The protective boundary between the human world and the spirit realm is torn open. Now, the legendary beings of Slavic myth are no longer stories-they are a waking nightmare. The Leshy stalks the woods with newfound malice, the vengeful Rusalka laughs in the frozen river, and the cruel winter spirit, Moroz-koстолом, stalks the land.
As the village descends into suspicion and fear, a young carpenter, Ivan, and a gifted herbalist, Marina, must fight to save their home and their love. Guided by a reclusive elder, they must perform a series of dangerous rituals to seal the breach. But the forest demands a ransom, and the price may be higher than any of them are willing to pay-a soul for a soul.
Forgotten Slavic Forest is a spellbinding tapestry of folk horror, dark fantasy, and timeless love, perfect for readers of Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale and Uprooted by Naomi Novik.
Step into a world where:
Ancient Slavic mythology is real, powerful, and deadly.
Love and sacrifice are the only magic strong enough to face the coming darkness.
Every shadow in the snow-laden pines holds
