From #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth, “When Among Crows” is a contemporary fantasy set in Chicago, where creatures from Slavic lore are real and among us, and is a story about the families we build, and the ones we destroy.
We bear the sword, and we bear the pain of the sword.
Pain is Dymitr’s calling. His family is one in a long line of hunters who sacrifice their souls to slay monsters. Now he’s tasked with a deadly find the legendary witch Baba Jaga. To reach her, Dymitr must ally with the ones he’s sworn to kill.
Pain is Ala’s inheritance. A fear-eating zmora with little left to lose, Ala awaits death from the curse she carries. When Dymitr offers her a cure in exchange for her help, she has no choice but to agree.
Together they must fight against time and the wrath of the Chicago underworld. But Dymitr’s secrets, and his true motives, may be the thing that actually destroys them.
