Arden builds her brilliant Russian fairy tale series with her formidable heroine charging into adventure.

Arden still has a genius touch for the historical truth of devoutly Russian Orthadoxy blending with centuries of Slavic paganism to create a glittering world of white snow, dark forests and colorful Muscovite terems. Her unique blend of folk and fairy tales create a tale that feels as old as Mother Russia, but it's her humans we want more of - Vasya, our horse riding wild spirited witchy heroine, her strong but tower bound older sister Olga, their priest brother Sasha, bad guy Nikonovich, and hopefully, the Frost Demon Morozko. These first pages of The Girl In The Tower promise them all, and I can't wait!
