Son of a Witch

Prince Vladimir of Kyiv sent his relative Dobrynya to Novgorod as governor. But hatred and flames meet Dobrynya. Someone dark and powerful has cast a spell of illusion upon the people of the land so that, losing themselves, they resist the new faith—Christianity—cruelly. Gradually, Dobrynya begins to understand that the sorcery was brought by his mother, the powerful witch Malfrida. She disappeared when Dobrynya was still a child… Fate brings the Novgorod governor together with a young priest, Savva, who doesn’t remember his past—but whose name of Malfrida is somehow known to him. And her traces lead into the wild forests of the pagan Vyatichi—into the place where the terrible Lizard rages, an ancient dark evil. However, in these forests there is something even more dangerous: a dreadful enemy whom even the powerful witch Malfrida fears. And there is no escape from him…
