Zarechye is a village lost among dense forests. For centuries, it has become a home for young sorcerers who have to go through the rite of Initiation. Here, thousands of stars sparkle in the night sky, a cuckoo cries in a birch grove, and girls in long dresses perform magical rites to keep the world in balance. Here, magic lives in every wave of girl's eyelashes, and wisdom is hidden in the whisper of the forest.On Kupala night, the fates of six main characters intertwine, who will have to unravel the mystery of the treasure left by the gods in ancient dungeons. In the dark corridors, they will face their fears and will have to answer the question of who they really are. Will they cope with these tests? And what will happen next when they find out that the life of one of them is threatened by an ancient curse? Answers to all questions can be found only there, on the other side of the river, where fairy tales come to life and prophecies come true.New edition.
