Description:

Olia adores Castle Mila — the rambling, golden-domed wooden palace her family has cared for across five hundred years. She knows its hidden corners, its whispering passageways and its secret rooms better than anyone. But when a strange and savage storm circles only the castle, refusing to leave, Olia's grandmother reveals a long-kept truth: powerful magic has been sealed inside the castle's domes for generations, and now it's trying to break free. With time running out, twelve-year-old Olia and Feliks — the castle's fox-like house spirit — slip through a hidden doorway into the Land of Forbidden Magic, where a cunning wizard rules and hope has all but faded. To rescue her family and home, Olia must trust her own courage and discover the magic within herself. Brimming with Slavic folklore, breathtaking imagery and tender warmth, this is a spellbinding fairy-tale adventure.
