Malice. The Silver Needle

The sorcerer, whose death is sealed in a silver needle, teaches a young witch the art of magic. He knows that when he is exposed, he will lose both love and his head. But until that happens, he continues to weave a web of revenge to destroy an old enemy — although he understands that he has gone too far. The witch escapes from the monster and fears that she will not withstand it if its creator turns out to be someone close to her. But sometimes maidens are braver than they think. And sometimes they defeat dark sorcerers not with cruelty or strength, but simply by asking the question at the right time: “Where are you hiding your death?”

The long-awaited finale of the trilogy “Malice” by Yana Lechkina! A story about confronting fear, paying debts, tenderness, and a cycle of revenge.

Some sorcerers prepare a trap for the monster, others calculate the next move. The sorcerer who started all the turmoil knows that he has long crossed a line. But he doesn’t even suspect what form retribution will take.

Remember how in fairy tales? The hero doesn’t just discover where the evil sorcerer’s weak spot is. Usually, the sorcerer reveals it himself — to the woman he is fond of. But revelations have never led antagonists to good.
