Vasilisa | M L Farb
1 post | 1 read
"Forest born! Ogre child! You're nothing but a demon wild!"Vasilisa has always been strong. She's strong enough to break the arm of the bully that daily taunts her. She won't because she and her mother are servants at the Orlov manor, and her mother would be punished for her retaliation. Instead Vasilisa bides her time until she is sixteen and can return to the forest. Only Staver, the master's son, shows her kindness. His friendship pulls as strong as the forest, but their classes are divided forever by law. She is a forest born, fatherless servant and her future at the manor holds mockery filled drudgery. War threatens. The forest calls. Will she stay to protect the one who can never be more than a friend, or flee to the peace that the forest offers?

Vasilisa | M L Farb

A fairytale version of a world, but not without risk – bears & ogres lurk in the forest, a cruel mistress waits in the manor, & far worse threatens beyond Ruska‘s borders. It takes more than brute strength to win these battles, & more than pure wit to outsmart these enemies. Lucky then that we have a courageous heroin, as determined & strong as she is tricksy, to walk us through this first, spectacular entry into Farb‘s Hearth and Bard Tales!
