Neither on horseback nor on foot...

On the longest, darkest night of the annual circle, the boundaries between worlds shift and reality changes. The snowstorm covers the roads and confuses the tracks of the young lady who ran away from the family estate, opening the path to the True Forest for the crying stupid girl. Who will Yadviga come out of there, how will she use her newfound strength, will she be able to remain human in the series of endless years she has lived?

People and non-humans, a dark past and an unclear future, love and curses - the Mistress of Fate weaves everything into her eternal pattern, tightly connecting the lives of the heroes.
