The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine ArdenRead about the other entries on the list.
In the Russian wilderness of Arden’s story, winter is almost continuous. Within this cold, snowy world Vasya is a young woman who finds friendship and comfort in the spirits that inhabit the nearby forest. This is a world where snow piles up and the old gods regularly walk the local paths. When a new priest arrives in the village, a battle brews between the old and the new, with Vasya right at its center. Arden brings every aspect of her universe into sharp focus — especially the unforgiving Russian winter. In a cold world, your relationship with the world around you is crucial, giving Vasya insight and advantages that others lack as the snow piles up and the ice thickens.
--Marshal Zeringue
