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.

This book devoured me. Elegant prose, fascinating world, refreshing magic, deep complicated characters, everything was a hit for me. The narrators were all fantastic and really brought this to life in a way my own inner voice would fail to do, especially since I am unfamiliar with Polish. There was an editing error, or so I assume, and the last 90seconds was duplicated earlier in the final chapter, which made it hit a little less as the send off. But maybe it’s the same in the print version and something went over my head.
