The life of a nobleman's daughter is easy and predetermined: secure a suitable match and get used to ruling in a new home. But for Varvara Glinka, who has fallen in love with an old friend and artist, this is...
not to her liking.
Will she manage to escape the forced marriage with the help of the black magic passed down from her dying grandmother and the strange images of the unclean, leading to the village of mermaids and ghouls from the swamp?
Enduring the heavy trials of fate, the landlady will understand that the world is not filled only with humanity: she is set to ponder her bitter fate with a house spirit, seek hints from a leshy, and fight with drowners capable of dragging her to the bottom… In Varvara's new reality, there is no place for balls and tea parties; the cold of the bog replaces the warmth of embraces, and the smell of dampness and decay becomes the aroma of tea roses.
Will Varvara be able to escape from the undead, or will she become one of them?
This is a story about ambiguous heroes and found family. On the pages of the novel, you will encounter witch's familiars and demons, a house spirit, bog lights, a midnight witch, mermaids, and a swamp man.
