In a time of upheaval, Nadezhda must confront her magical heritage to survive in The Witch's Daughter, a tale of love and resilience.
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Russian Revolution, The Witch's Daughter weaves a gripping tale of love, magic, and survival. The story follows Nadezhda, a young woman who never wished to embrace her family's occult legacy. With her mother, Militza, having once conjured the infamous Rasputin, Nadezhda finds herself entangled in a world of sorcery and danger. As Petrograd descends into chaos, she must navigate the treacherous streets while protecting a powerful book of generational magic that could change everything.
As the city burns and the Romanov dynasty crumbles, Nadezhda's journey becomes one of self-discovery and resilience. Haunted by her mother's past and the lingering presence of Rasputin, she grapples with her identity and the weight of her heritage. With danger closing in, Nadezhda faces a choice: to reject her lineage or to embrace the magic that flows through her veins in order to save those she loves.
The Witch's Daughter is not only a tale of personal struggle but also a reflection on the strength of women rising from the ashes of an empire. Based on true events, this epic narrative captures the spirit of an era while exploring themes of love, betrayal, and the quest for freedom. Perfect for fans of historical fiction, it draws readers into a world where the past and magic intertwine, leaving them captivated until the very last page.
