A beautiful, magical fairy tale
Written as a 'grown up' fairy tale, set in Russia, this is the story of Vasilisa and her connection with the house spirits and eventually, the Frost Demon. She has magic, and this sets her apart from the others in her village, in a time where Christianity is flexing its muscles. Her stepmother is a devout Christian and won't allow her to worship the spirits. Eventually a city priest comes, unwillingly, to be their village priest, which is when things really start to go wrong for not just Vasilisa, but the whole village.
