DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the vein of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Number the Stars, this fusion of fairy tales, folklore, and World War II history eloquently illustrates the power of love and the inherent will to survive even in the darkest of times. In the land of dolls, there is magic. In the land of humans, there is war. Everywhere there is pain. But together there is hope. Karolina is a living doll whose king and queen have been overthrown. But when a strange wind spirits her away from the Land of the Dolls, she finds herself in Kraków, Poland, in the company of the Dollmaker, a man with an unusual power and a marked past. The Dollmaker has learned to keep to himself, but Karolina’s courageous and compassionate manner lead him to smile and to even befriend a violin-playing father and his daughter—that is, once the Dollmaker gets over the shock of realizing a doll is speaking to him. But their newfound happiness is dashed when Nazi soldiers descend upon Poland. Karolina and the Dollmaker quickly realize that their Jewish friends are in grave danger, and they are determined to help save them, no matter what the risks.

All Waclaw has ever dreamed of is belonging and purpose. Except he's never actually dreamed. Each night, his soul leaves his body, allowing him to wander invisibly until he wakes. He'd do anything to know why. Even give a blood offering to the goddess of winter and death. As a priestess of spring, there's no one Otylia hates more than the winter goddess-except maybe her once best friend Waclaw. It's been four years since she saved Waclaw's life using forbidden magic. Her thanks? Abandonment. Winter stole her mother just weeks later, and Waclaw never came. But when Otylia discovers Waclaw bearing the winter goddess's mark on what should be the first day of spring, she realizes the horrific truth: Winter will not end, and Waclaw is her only hope of discovering why. Embark on an epic journey through a world rooted in Slavic mythology and folklore that has powerful gods, menacing beasts, cursed forests, forbidden romance, and plenty of secrets to uncover.
