 > by Katherine Arden</p>\n<p>Summary:</p>\n<p>At the edge of the Russian w
 ilderness\, winter lasts most of the year and the snowdrifts grow taller t
 han houses. But Vasilisa doesn't mind&mdash\;she spends the winter nights 
 huddled around the embers of a fire with her beloved siblings\, listening 
 to her nurse's fairy tales. Above all\, she loves the chilling story of Fr
 ost\, the blue-eyed winter demon\, who appears in the frigid night to clai
 m unwary souls. Wise Russians fear him\, her nurse says\, and honor the sp
 irits of house and yard and forest that protect their homes from evil.</p>
 \n<p>After Vasilisa's mother dies\, her father goes to Moscow and brings h
 ome a new wife. Fiercely devout\, city-bred\, Vasilisa's new stepmother fo
 rbids her family from honoring the household spirits. The family acquiesce
 s\, but Vasilisa is frightened\, sensing that more hinges upon their ritua
 ls than anyone knows.</p>\n<p>And indeed\, crops begin to fail\, evil crea
 tures of the forest creep nearer\, and misfortune stalks the village. All 
 the while\, Vasilisa's stepmother grows ever harsher in her determination 
 to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for either marriage or confinement in
  a convent.</p>\n<p>As danger circles\, Vasilisa must defy even the people
  she loves and call on dangerous gifts she has long concealed&mdash\;this\
 , in order to protect her family from a threat that seems to have stepped 
 from her nurse's most frightening tales.</p>\n<p>The Bear and the Nighting
 ale&nbsp\;is a magical debut novel from a gifted and gorgeous voice. It sp
 ins an irresistible spell as it announces the arrival of a singular talent
