Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread ayas, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only at a terrible price. Inspired by myth, fairy tale, and folklore, these stories from the Grishaverse explore the dark corners of magic and the dangers of the unknown.
