Summary

Shadowy.

That was Shadow's existence for 5,000 years - until she learned in order to step out of her mother's shadow, she had to step into her own.

Travel to Pohjola - Louhi's domain, meet some of Shadow's sisters, the Maidens of Pohjola, and discover how Shadow became Viktoria.

This 14k word short story is about the deal Shadow made with her mother, Louhi, the Goddess of Witchcraft and Death. It is loosely based on Finnish mythology (the Kalevala) and serves as a companion work to the Vampires & Strygoi Witches series.

Fun quick story, horrendous narrator

I went into this prequel knowing nothing about the universe, and I was positively surprised.
The story about Shadow, her sisters, and her mother, the goddess of magic and death, was intriguing and well written.
Since it only lasts 2 hours, I can only recommend it, even though you have not read the other books.
I know I will check out the other books in the series.

However, the narrator was really bad. She sounded robotic and her shrill voice was really rough in my ears, so I will be reading and not listening to the other books.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
