"If I look like a monster, then no one will be surprised when I do monstrous things.”
Liska Radost runs away from her village in search of the fern flower that can fulfill her wish to be free of her magic in an effort to dispel rumors that she is a witch. When she gets to the Driada, she comes face to face to antlered and man-looking named Leszy. At the point when the Leszy gets Liska endeavoring to pick the flamelike blossom. Instead of the flower, he offers her a deal that makes her options easier:“serve me for a year, and when you are done, I will grant your wish.”
She moves into his manor named "the House Under the Rowan Tree". Where she learns that there is more to magic then darkness. She will also uncovers secrets about the Leszy
The story is filled with beings that fills this magic world that humans fear. Enchanted forest; sirens, magical deer, trees with eyes, et cetera. I really enjoyed the author's writing style; very easy to understand and the eerie vibe is really a kick.
Both have to join hands in order to get ride of this old evil god. A main portion of the story is Liska attempting to manage the trauma(from childhood) she has from having sorcery in a general public that considers it evil. She is shown that magic doesn't have to be a bad thing by the Leszy. He will do his best to help her get through this. As he helps her, their close proximity will bring out their attraction for one another. But it is a slow burn, since magic is what brought them together, it will be their first priority.
the author wrapped up the story.
The cover itself already got my full attention.
