Джалар is the daughter of Тэмулгэн, the best hunter of the Land, and the granddaughter of Тхока, whom everyone respects and listens to, as if she were a weaver. Джалар is the first beauty saved by the reindeer from the clutches of Нави. A girl who can speak with the river.

In the land where Джалар lives, everything is governed by strict logic: after the time of the Elk comes the time of the Duck, after Йолрун comes Жарминах, and so the circle turns again and again.

But the clear course of the circle is broken at the spring festival. As if someone had whispered a path to the very evil, and now it is here, in their calm, confident world. Evil has its heralds too—strange people who demand that a spinner be handed over and begin to run the village. Why does everyone hear their words differently, and why does what is heard awaken hatred in the peaceful children of Рыси? Why is Джалар a threat to them, and why is she now forced to flee her home, saving herself? And what book is hidden all the way at the bottom of old Тхока’s chest?

“Джалар” is the sixth fantasy tale in Тамара Михеева’s cycle—“will gather all the weavers together.” In “Seven Spinners,” the author’s craft is revealed anew, and the fairy tales take on a special depth and parable-like quality. You can get to know them in any order, one after another, discovering the stories of girls who must make their choice—whether to destroy or keep worlds.
