About this audiobook
This program features multicast narration.
When Among Crows is swift and striking, drawing from the deep well of Slavic folklore and asking if redemption and atonement can be found in embracing what we most fear.
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.
"Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."—Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.
Editor's Note
Polish-inspired urban fantasy…
From the bestselling author of the “Divergent” trilogy comes an urban fantasy novella inspired by Polish folklore. The story unfolds in a Chicago embroiled in magic. Dymitr, a human who kills monsters, strikes a deal with Ala, a zmora who subsists on fear: He’ll help her break the curse that plagues her if she helps him locate an infamous witch he’s been assigned to eliminate. As the pair race against the clock, it becomes increasingly clear that Dymitr has dark secrets, putting both of their lives in danger.

Amazing story based on Polish folklore. I love shorter books and stories, but this made me wish it was just a tad bit longer to be able to stay in this world. Highly recommend!
