Description

The daughter of a landowner seems to have an easy and predetermined fate: marry well and become mistress of a new house. However, Varvara Glinka, who is in love with an old friend and an artist, isn’t suited for that. Can she avoid an unwanted marriage with black magic passed down by her dying grandmother, and mysterious beings that control mermaids and vampires? Facing difficulties, she realizes that the world isn’t limited only to people: she will have to discuss her fate with a household spirit, seek advice from a forest sprite (leshy), and fight the water-logged, vengeful swamp-dwellers who could drag her under. In Varvara’s new reality, there’s no place for social events—swamp dampness has replaced warm embraces, and the smell of rot and wetness has replaced the scent of roses. Will Varvara manage to avoid becoming part of the realm of the unclean?
