What to expect
Since birth, Silke and her twin brother Janis have been separated. For a terrible prophecy, made to their parents by the mysterious Madame Petrova, predicted that the twins would one day be the cause of each other’s demise. So, Janis was sent away to be brought up among the mountains, while Silke
remained in the family home … until now.
Silke and Janis’s parents have died, and their devious cousins have brought them back together to carry out the prophecy, so they can inherit the family home. But the twins are determined not to let that happen—and so they decide to run away.
Faking their own death, they flee into the forest wilderness, meeting poachers, a harsh winter, a dancing bear, a mysterious medium, and … Madame Petrova. Can the two siblings stick together and unravel the prophecy before it manifests?
Set in a charming blend of fairy-tale setting and historical Europe, The Curse of Madame Petrova bewitches and builds to a crescendo that feels genuinely unexpected and movingly shocking.
