**Hey book dwellers!**

Step into a world where the chill of winter meets the warmth of ancient magic. Our next meetup takes us through the enchanting pages of Katherine Arden's spellbinding novel, The Bear and the Nightingale.

In this captivating tale set in medieval Russia, Arden weaves together folklore, magic, and the strength of a young woman’s spirit.
In this immersive journey, we follow Vasilisa, a courageous girl who lives on the edge of a forest brimming with mythical creatures and dark enchantments.

As she battles to protect her family and their way of life against encroaching forces both natural and supernatural, she uncovers the deep connections between her heritage and the mystical world around her.

Perfect for a cozy December read, this story will transport you to a land where legends come to life and every shadow hides a secret.

Our discussion will delve into the rich tapestry of Russian folklore, the themes of bravery and tradition, and the striking contrast between the mystical and the mundane.
