A Storyberries 'Once Untold' Fairy Tale... Dark, Ancient, Forgotten and Obscure Folktales of Europe
In the heart of Kyiv, young girls are vanishing without a trace... They're being stolen by the fearsome dragon Gorynych.
When the Princess of Kyiv is taken, the desperate Prince searches for the one man said to be capable of slaying the beast: Mykyta the Skin-Wringer. But Mykyta is no hero. He is a solitary craftsman, a man who has buried his heart in his work, far from the chaos of the world.
Riches, fame, even the Prince's tearful pleas cannot move him. Yet when the voices of a thousand children—siblings of the stolen girls—cry out for help, something deep within Mykyta stirs.
Forging a monstrous disguise from straw, hemp, and tar, Mykyta prepares for battle. What follows is an epic clash of strength, wit, and resolve, where the fate of the princess—and the city—hangs in the balance.
A spellbinding retelling of a legendary Ukrainian folktale, illustrated with the striking art of Ukrainian artist Anthony E. Leah, Mykyta the Skin-Wringer is a tale of courage reborn, of battles fought not just with weapons, but with heart and conviction.
