The Midnight Girls

By: Alicia Jasinska

It's Karnawal season in the snow-cloaked Kingdom of Polva, a time marked by wintry balls, glittery disguises, and cavalcades of nightly torch-lit "kuligi" sleigh-parties. 

And two wicked enchantresses join the merrymaking. Zosia and Marynka are caught up in all the icy glitz of Karnawal. They find themselves setting their sights on the same crown prince. Zosia wants his heart to use it's magic to earn her freedom, and Marynka it to prove her worth to the witch she serves.

When neither will sacrifice their ambitions for the other, the festivities turn into a magical contest. But their magic does not go unnoticed, and this is a country that enjoys watching witches burn. Zosia and Marynka's escalating rivalry might cost them not just their love for each other, but both their lives.
