Description

Snake Ravine (Gad’yachiy Yar) is a special place—no wonder it got its name for a reason. The water in the local lake is clear and clean, the forests are rich with mushrooms and berries, but there are so many snakes that not everyone will dare to go after them. Yaroslava grew up in Snake Ravine. Her grandfather told her she was special—not like everyone else—so she could see things that other people couldn’t. Grandma advised her to keep quiet about it, so she wouldn’t be thought mad. One night, Yaroslava packed her things and hurried away. She had her reasons, reasons she never told anyone. And ten years later she returned. In all that time, Snake Ravine had changed beyond recognition—but not everyone liked those changes. Yaroslava didn’t want to take anyone’s side, but when young girls around her began to die, she had no choice.
