Sisters of the Lake Waters

Lesya wakes up in a dense forest, with a bleeding wound on her head and no idea how she got there. She is rescued by a stranger who half-carries her to his family's home. Thus, Lesya ends up with the old woman Aksinya. Here, in the impenetrable thicket, people live side by side with forest spirits and swamp creatures. The laws and morals familiar to city dwellers are useless here, and in order to return home, Lesya must understand this world and learn to negotiate with its inhabitants. «Sisters of the Lake Waters» — the first part of the duology «Chronicles of the Swamp Land» by Olga Ptitseva. Witches and forest spirits, incantations and spells — a colorful and dark Slavic folklore bursts into the life of modern city dwellers, overturning their notions of the world and themselves.
