Publisher Description

When Among Crows is swift and striking, drawing from the deep well of Slavic folklore and asking if redemption and atonement can be found in embracing what we most fear.

We bear the sword, and we bear the pain of the sword.

Pain is Dymitr’s calling. His family is one in a long line of hunters who sacrifice their souls to slay monsters. Now he’s tasked with a deadly mission: find the legendary witch Baba Jaga. To reach her, Dymitr must ally with the ones he’s sworn to kill.

Pain is Ala’s inheritance. A fear-eating zmora with little left to lose, Ala awaits death from the curse she carries. When Dymitr offers her a cure in exchange for her help, she has no choice but to agree.

Together they must fight against time and the wrath of the Chicago underworld. But Dymitr’s secrets—and his true motives—may be the thing that actually destroys them.

"Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."—Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six

“Was immediately captivated by this little novella. The world, the creatures/monsters, and the main character. So good. I was totally thrown off by the romance subplot. It came out of absolutely nowhere and felt so forced - like an afterthought the editors added in or something. Taking off a star for that.”

Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“I have never read any Veronica Roth books before this, but I am really into folklore so I was interested in this. What a very good book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, getting to jump right in and meet Ala, Dymitr, Niko. I really love how the author was able to achieve the satisfaction of a found family/friend group in a short period. The instant connection and pull with Niko and Dymitr is so cute I found myself kicking my feet. I really loved all the lore put into this book, it captivated my attention fully. Reading about what Dymitr was after the whole time was so intriguing and I really love when things are connected so beautifully. Very well done!”
