The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic (Grishaverse, #0.5, 2.5, 2.6)

Travel to Grishnaverse, a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only for a terrible price. Inspired by myth, fairy tale, and folklore, author Leigh Bardugo has crafted a deliciously atmospheric collection of short stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice, and love. -- Zemeni Ayama and the Thorn Wood -- Ravkan The too-clever fox -- The witch of Duva -- Little knife -- Kerch The soldier prince -- Fjerdan When water sang fire. Leigh Bardugo ; illustrated by Sara Kipin.
