Book description
Child of the revolution, maiden of myth, bride of darkness A
handsome young man arrives in St Petersburg at the house of Marya
Morevna. He is Koschei, the Tsar of Life, and he is Marya's fate.
Koschei leads Marya to his kingdom, where she becomes a warrior in his
tireless battle against his own brother, the Tsar of Death. Years
pass. Battle-hardened, scarred by love, and longing for respite, Marya
returns to St Petersburg - only to discover a place as pitiful as the
land she has just fled: a starveling city, haunted by death.
Deathless is a fierce story of life and death, love and power,
old memories, deep myth and dark magic, set against the history of
Russia in the twentieth century. It is, quite simply, unforgettable.
