Cover Art: Melvyn Grant (illustrateur). 1st UK Edition. © 1989: 1st in the 'Rusalka' series of books. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: "A Rusalka is a wish. A wish not to die. That describes my daughter". In the folktales of pre-Christian Russia, north of Kiev, the most terrifying of all the spirits that haunted the countryside was Rusalka, the ghost of a murdered girl who still sought to exist by drawing life-giving energy from a human. Dashing young Pyetr Kochevikov has always mocked at such superstition, but when he is outcast from his native village, severely wounded, and is forced to seek shelter in the out-of-the-way cottage of the old wizard Uulamets he finds reason to regret his mockery. For Uulamets' dead daughter Eveshka has turned into a Rusalka, and has already destroyed an area of the forest in her desperate attempt to cling to life. The wizard wants his daughter back - phantom or human, he doesn't care - and in Pyetr he sees a means to his end. Eveshka is powerfully drawn to Pyetr and worse is to come when Pyetr finds himself falling in love with her. Only his young friend, Sasha Misurov - an embryonic wizard - can save him from his fate at the Rusalka's hands, and time is running out for them both as the dark forces of the wizard's forest close in around them:- Review(s): "In 'Rusalka', award-winning novelist C J Cherryh tells a chilling yet human story of courage, sacrifice and the fierce love between a tormented spirit and a mortal man":- (original cost £14.99).
