Marisha's time is running out. She's already lost her family to the sleeping plague, and she fears she'll be next. Penniless and desperate for protection, Marisha is forced to accept a job as apprentice to the notorious koldunya, Baba Zima.
Despite Baba Zima's reputation for cruelty, Marisha finds herself drawn into the magical world of koldunry, and is thrust into looking for a cure to the plague - if Marisha finds it, she will finally be free.
As the search grows increasingly dangerous and seemingly impossible, Marisha uncovers hidden connections between the sleeping plague, her own family's history, and her haunting dreams: of a masked ball where sleepers are trapped endlessly dancing - and a monstrous beaked man who shadows her every step . . .©2025 Lauren Wiesebron

**PRAISE FOR HOUSE OF FROST AND FEATHERS**
Sweeping and lyrical, rich with folk magic, House of Frost and Feathers is an otherwordly dream of a read. Combining the wonder and beauty of magical winter landscapes with the creeping dread of relentless pursuit and the darkness between doorways, Weisebron's transporting debut is the perfect book to curl up with on a chilly night
The House of Frost and Feathers is a dark enchantment with a beautiful heart. Its narrative spell is rich and poignant and will sweep you away like a chicken-legged house on skis. A frosty folktale to devour on a winter's night
The House of Frost and Feathers is an enchanting Slavic fairytale of dark whimsy, magic, and a touch of romance. Perfect for a cold winter's night, you'll fall in love with Baba Zima's chicken-legged house and all its inhabitants, from a sensitive violinist to a prickly assistant, very literal helping hands - and more! If you enjoyed Howl's Moving Castle and Uprooted, you'll love this
A touch of The Bear and the Nightingale, a bit of Juniper & Thorn, and a sense of wonder and adventure makes up this lyrical debut fantasy of a young woman in search of a home, and a home in search of people to make it feel lived in
A sweeping debut that shimmers with romance and folklore. Marisha is a hardy heroine with much heart, and her journey is a lyrically layered fantasy that enchants from the first page
