Tsarina Scholar Woodsman Thief — Cidney Swanson

In this enchanting fairytale, a pair of estranged siblings, a tsarina, and a woodsman must band together to outwit a crooked duke who wants them all—and isn't particular as to dead or alive. Here be dragons and sirens, magical gifts and dread debts, deeds noble and foolhardy. With a touch of Narnia and a dash of Baba Yaga, it's a tale that reads like balm for the weary in soul.Glance over the first lines. Peruse the first chapter.
