On the ancient night of Kupala, Dymitr enters Chicago’s dark and magical underworld with one goal: find the mythical fern flower and trade it to a cursed creature in exchange for help locating the elusive witch Baba Jaga. The creature? Ala, a zmora who feeds on fear and is slowly dying from a bloodline curse.
Ala agrees to help—reluctantly. Over one harrowing night, the pair battle monsters, face ancient magic, and forge a fragile bond. But Dymitr’s secret could shatter everything they’ve risked their lives for.
Drawing on Slavic folklore, When Among Crows is a sharp, lyrical tale of redemption, found family, and the darkness we must face to find the light. A USA Today bestseller and Goodreads Best Fantasy nominee, this is Leigh Bardugo meets The Witcher with teeth.
