Then one cold spring morning, he finds a glowing feather in the forest. And everything changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsnared by the terrifying witch Baba Yaga, Ivan is given an impossible bargain: capture the legendary Firebird, a creature whose magic can reshape kingdoms, and she will grant him one wish and his freedom.

She has every reason not to trust a man who claims to be from a magical kingdom. She believes him anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Ivan and Lisa navigate dangerous quests together, something neither of them planned begins to take root. Slow. Real.
