This Slavic folklore-inspired fantasy novella contains dark themes and family conflict appropriate for older teens. The story explores loyalty, duty, and moral complexity through a heist narrative involving dangerous supernatural elements and witch lore. While not graphically violent, the tone is consistently tense and mature, with references to curses, monsters, and morally gray characters. Best suited for readers comfortable with darker YA/new adult fantasy.

A funeral. A heist. A desperate mission. When Dymitr is called back to the old country for the empty night, a funeral rite intended to keep evil at bay, it's the perfect opportunity for him to get his hands on his family's most guarded relic—a book of curses that could satisfy the debt he owes legendary witch Baba Jaga. But first he'll have to survive a night with his dangerous, monster-hunting kin. As the sun sets, the line between enemies and allies becomes razor-thin, and Dymitr’s new loyalties are pushed to their breaking point. Family gatherings can be brutal. Dymitr’s might just be fatal. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
