Tairin. Seven Spinners. Book 3

Rila is a magnificent and beautiful city — the home of science and creativity, with museums, theaters, and a huge Library. Rila is also a cunning and cruel city: a prison for the defeated, brought there after the Empire was unified. These people are forbidden to speak their native language, pray to their gods, learn to read and write. But young hofolarka Tayrin learned anyway. She reads forbidden books, keeps Hofolaria in her heart, and dreams of leaving Rila one day. And Tayrin dances under the moon on the forest clearings — her dance calls for spring, helps trees and grasses, and wards off trouble. Witch Tayrin knows: the world is vast, but you are part of it. Dance to discover the secrets of the universe, to be filled with them, and to share them. Dance! The novella “Tayrin” continues the cycle “The Seven Spinners” — Tamara Mikheyeva’s captivating fantasy, the author of many books for children and teenagers and the winner of several awards in children’s literature. In this cycle, the writer’s craft is revealed from an unexpected side, and the fairy tales gain special depth and a parable-like quality. “Tayrin” is the third book in the cycle “The Seven Spinners,” though the reader is free to read the books in any order — each has its own path.
