The Girl In The Tower by Katherine Arden

Set in the wintry landscapes of medieval Russia, this enchanting tale follows the courageous Vasya, who defies societal norms by disguising herself as a boy to explore the world beyond her village. As she navigates the political intrigue and supernatural forces that threaten her homeland, Vasya must harness her burgeoning magical abilities to protect her family and the realm from dark forces. Her journey is one of self-discovery, bravery, and the struggle to balance the old pagan beliefs with the encroaching influence of Christianity.
