About the book

From the publisher

Her beloved was taken from her right before their wedding. She will travel to the gates of the Underworld to get him back.

Ruta has nothing left to live for. Her groom is gone, and her village shuns her for the crime of loving the wrong man. Desperate to regain what she lost, she sets out on a perilous journey through the primeval woods filled with beasts and bieses, her only guidance an old tale about a woman who followed the moon into Nawie, the world of the dead.

But the moon is not just a guiding light in the sky. He is a god, and Ruta’s stubborn quest soon grabs his attention. Chors, the Moon God, doesn’t believe in love because in his many centuries of existence he never once experienced it himself.

Ruta’s pilgrimage baffles and irks him. And since she needs his help to reach her destination, he uses his power over her to test her love—and break it, if he can. At first, it’s only out of spite, but things change as he gets to know her.

Chors might loathe Ruta for being so besotted, so naïve, and so obstinate, but even he has to admit the woman who follows his every step is special.

Maybe special enough to want her for himself.

This is a standalone Slavic fantasy romance set in the world of Jaga and the Devil. It’s suitable for adult readers.
