When the Igosha Wakes Up. Series Six: The Benefactress

Nothing is more dangerous than throwing an careless word into the Secret Rows—especially during the ceremony of trading fates—most of all if the ritual is conducted by an old graveyard hag. Militsa is the daughter of a bankrupt merchant. Kupava is a gifted money-maker, and her father marries her off to an unloved man. What seems so insignificant can be so desirable… But the last thing you should have done is to go to the old mare for help! No trust in these creatures. Forever hungry, thirsting for human warmth, they are ready for treachery and theft of the fate you left unattended.
