Grandpa Yaga and His Children

If you really want to get something, you have to stop wanting it—and then it will fall into your hands by itself. Stepa was almost swallowed by work routine, not hoping for new adventures—but then fate got her tangled up in something incredible.

Galina Fikina comes to Kozlova asking her to find a missing granddaughter. The matter is that the grandmother read correspondence on a forgotten phone belonging to Vera and some Rudik. It showed that the girl is pregnant, and Rudik advised her to go to “Bak,” where she would be helped.

Stepa is outraged! Why would someone drag her honest name into their dirty dealings? And what happened to the girl? Kozlova, of course, couldn’t leave it alone.

During the investigation, she finds herself in an underground trap from which you can escape only using your mind and your ability to climb sheer walls. But Kozlova never backs down from difficulties—she overcomes them.

Stepa will find out where Vera disappeared—along the way figuring out who Grandpa Yaga is and what his children are up to…

Darya Dontsova is the most popular and in-demand author in our country, a favorite of millions of readers. In Russia, more than 200 million copies of her books have been sold. Her work fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in tomorrow!

“Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don’t know any other writer who works so much. I respect her as an example of writerly diligence. Women need psychological support and get it from Dontsova. I myself once read several of Dontsova’s novels. Very different people read her—busy business ladies, to switch their minds off for a while, and housewives, who have a break of 15–20 minutes between taking the kids off and picking them up.” — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
