The curse will claim her life, as it did her mother's, unless she can find a cure.<br/><br/>One fateful night in Chicago, Dymitr comes to Ala with a bargain: her help in finding the legendary witch Baba Jaga in exchange for an enchanted flower that just might cure her. Desperate, and unaware of what Dymitr really is, Ala agrees.<br/><br/>But they only have one day before the flower dies, and Ala's hopes of breaking the curse along with it.
