Dragon's Bagpipe

A new mentor arrives in Zarechye. He is gloomy, not talkative, and his past is full of secrets. Margarita becomes his assistant, and the mentor takes her to the Dragon meadow—a fairy field where, according to legend, a monster appears once every few years… But for now, instead of a three-headed Snake, only Seva is hiding in the forest, conducting a mysterious and dangerous rite.

In winter, the heroes will face a grand ball at the Muromtsev manor. While guests are having fun and weaving intrigues, Polina becomes a witness to the gathering of the Elders, at which her uncle reveals the main family secret. A bright community prepares for an important event—the Rusal Circle. Initiated mages from Zarechye, Divnomorye, and Kitez will gather in Suzdal to test their strength and luck. The names of Mitya and Seva end up on the list of participants.

Polina also goes to Suzdal—at the competitions she has a special role. The friends rejoice at new adventures and have no idea what awaits them at the end of the Rusal Circle, when two worlds—of the living and the dead—touch.
