The Midnight Land II: The Gift
About this ebook
Slava thought that the hard part of her journey was over when she escaped giant wolves, angry bandits, and scheming sorcerers to make it to the Lesnograd kremlin. But the apparent safety of this outpost of civilization may be just an illusion. A curse has been let loose, one aimed straight at Slava’s family.
Slava has always been a most unlikely hero. Now she must summon up all her courage in order to stop the curse—or perhaps she must, at the gods’ behest, be its bearer.
The conclusion to the award-winning The Midnight Land I: The Flight, The Midnight Land II: The Gift continues the epic fantasy tale of one woman’s journey of self-discovery and empowerment against the backdrop of a matriarchal Slavic world.
High fantasy that is deeply rooted in Slavic history, literature, and fairy tales, this subversive story with a satirical edge will appeal to fans of Slavic-themed fantasy such as Deathless, Egg and Spoon, and The Bear and the Nightingale, as well as readers of classical East European literature.

Since then diverse adventures have happened, many of them unexpectedly involving Russia. Having, much to her surprise, gained the ability to speak Russian, she then went on to complete her Ph.D. in the subject. When she is not writing, she teaches Russian and contemplates the mysteries of poetic form. She is the author of multiple short stories; this her second novel in what is shaping up to be a seven-volume trilogy. She loves to hear from her readers and can be reached at [email protected], or on her website at https://epclarkauthor.net/, Pinterest at http://www.pinterest.com/
