In the seventh book of the series, Katerina is captured by the Vikings. She is unwillingly put to serve a very prankish Wind and manages to steal from under Cæsar’s nose a great master of Lukomorye.
She has to learn to confuse roads without missing a whole army heading to the peaceful lands of fairy-tale kingdoms, survive betrayal and disappointment. Kira and Stepan save her—from predatory flowers.
Kir temporarily turns into a dragon, and Stepan becomes the reason for Kati’s meeting with Old English elves. A fairy-tale talent is needed by Katerina—and even in our world.
With it, she keeps a person from a crazy and terrible act, stops treachery, and neutralizes a troll who wrote nasty things about her and her classmates. And it also explains what’s common between Japanese anime and Russian fairy tales.
Lukomorye grows more and more free from mist, and the tasks a fairy-tale storyteller has to solve become ever more difficult.
