Anyanka Morozova was not chosen, yet her fate is sealed when her infirm sister is. Set on a path of certain death, she is surprised to find that the evil witch of the woods is not all that she was taught to fear. Through trials riddled with magic, and bonds formed with a cast of unusual characters, including (usually) inanimate objects, there is no stopping the effect the journey has on her. What she expected to be her demise instead leads to self-discovery and redemption, in this fairytale-retelling.
