Ivan and Marya
Every Solstice, every year, a young girl dies to prolong the life of a madman.
While the girl's soul is fed to Kaschey the undead by his daughter, the
gloriously beautiful Marya, the girl's body drowns in the clutches of
Vodyanoy at the bottom of the Sacrifice Pool.
Every Solstice a hero tries to stop them... and dies.
But this is Ivan's year. Though his brothers plot his death, and the
villagers whose daughters are dying warn him not to interfere, Ivan the
Fool is determined to stop the sacrifice.
With the help of the
immortals, gotten by sympathy, force, or guile, Ivan believes his love
will save the beautiful Marya from herself.
