On the Other Side of the Fairy Tale: Such Different Brothers

In the sixth book of the series, Katerina unexpectedly finds distant relatives and gets rid of uninvited guests. A copper eagle carries her off from a forgotten fairy tale, and upon returning she has to break a pact with Ratko. Kir nearly becomes a meal for a young jagishyna, and Stepan barely avoids death. Katya and the Firebird save the wolf pack of Brown Wolf from extermination after the attacks of the wolf-spawn creatures. And the Golden, Silver, and Copper Eagles’ revenge almost destroys them themselves—but it also gives Katya amazing servants: fierce sea horses. Katya and her companions have to flee from an old hut on chicken legs and its predatory mistress. Meanwhile, Kashchei and Chernomor, Yaga and the water tsar of the Ozer naya edge, don’t let them wake the fairy tales peacefully, and it’s not easy for the storyteller to help the tales of Lukomorye.
