Description

The Witch and the Tsar breathes new life into stories you think you know. In sixteenth-century Russia, Yaga's world is turned upside down when Tsaritsa Anastasia arrives at her cottage on the brink of death.

As they journey to Moscow together, Yaga must navigate a Russia on the brink of chaos, where the tyrannical Tsar Ivan grows more volatile by the day. But what Yaga cannot know is that Ivan is being manipulated by forces far older and more fearsome than anyone can imagine.

This fresh take on the legend of Baba Yaga reveals a woman so wise and strong that she has to be cloaked in lies to hide her true power, challenging everything you thought you knew about this iconic figure from Slavic fairy tales.
