Bookroo's summary

Anya's quest to reunite with her father leads her to a hidden menace beneath Kievan Rus'. As a powerful creature terrorizes travelers, Anya discovers a greater evil lurking below. With her friends' magic and lives at stake, can Anya unravel the city's secrets and save them all, or will they be trapped forever beneath Kiev's shadows?

From the publisher

The adventure continues in this exciting sequel to Anya and the Dragon_ in which a dangerous monster lurks beneath the city and only Anya can keep him from taking her friends’ magic—and their lives. Perfect for fans of _The Girl Who Drank the Moon.

It’s been a year since a violent Viking terrorized the small village of Zmeyreka and Anya and her foolish friend Ivan saved a friendly dragon from being sacrificed for his magic.

But things still aren’t safe in the kingdom of Kievan Rus’.

After embarking on a journey to bring her papa home from war, Anya discovers a powerful forest creature terrorizing travelers. But she soon learns that he’s not the monster the kingdom should fear. There’s an even greater evil that lurks under the city.

Can Anya stop the monster, save her papa, and find her way home? Or will the secrets of Kiev leave Anya and her friends trapped beneath the city forever?
