When Seraphina inherits a legacy from a mysterious great-aunt, she doesn't expect it to include a cottage that walks on chicken legs. As the new Baba Yaga, Seraphina takes her role seriously even as she tries to escape it. While a few story strands feel forced, readers eager for another folktale backstory will enjoy this romantic fantasy.
