Description
Calista Faulkner never believed in fairy tales…until she is thrust into one.
While attending a college party, she’s attacked by terrifying creatures straight out of a modern day Dr. Frankenstein’s handbook. Fleeing for her life, she discovers that her human memories are a lie and nothing is what it seems.
Calista becomes a target and her only chance of survival is to trust the mysterious Brendan Parnell. He seems to know all of her secrets, even those she doesn’t remember herself.
Together they must fight to protect the most important part of their inheritance, the Relic of Knowledge. Unfortunately, Calista has no memory of her magical life and no idea where she hid the relic. As her memories begin to resurface with bone crushing agony, Calista must face the facts: she is a Volshebnitsya of the High Realm of Skazka and it is her duty to stop the Glava, the masters of Shadowlands.
The world around them begins to falls apart. Plagued by storms that are destroying cities and torn by the sinister monsters of Russian lore. The secrets locked deep inside her mind are her destiny and her undoing. If both worlds are to survive, Calista and Brendan must face the darkness around them—and the darkness threatening from within.
Advance Praise
"Romantic tension that leaves you weak in the knees as Calista charges through a world of Russian folklore and majyk. This is the perfect read for fans of Once Upon a Time, Supernatural, and The Mortal Instruments!" -Rachel E. Carter, USA Today best selling author of The Black Mage series

I loved this spin fairytales on majyk and Russian folklore and I can't wait for the next one! This was my first book by this author, however I did enjoy it. It was fast paced and just alltogether an easy read. I give this book a 4.5 star rating!
The book seems to have a slow start, but just as thought so it picked up. I quickly became enthralled in the characters and their world.
Calista was a normal girl, now in college. Having survived her freshman year, she decide to heed her friend and go to a party. Her life changed forever at that party. All the sudden she is thrown between worlds and memories she doesnt recognize. Can Brendan pull her out in time? Can they find the relic she's now forgotten?
It was such a rush, and I want to hear more about her, Brendan, and the world they belong to!! Have to read this January 18, 2018!!
