"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.

Dystopian fiction and young adult speculative narrative experienced a major surge with the release of the bestselling novel Divergent, which explores a strictly divided society based on personality traits. Author Veronica Roth gained international prominence through this debut trilogy and expanded her bibliography with works such as When Among Crows, Chosen Ones, and Arch-Conspirator. Her dystopian and speculative fiction releases have sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.
Veronica Anne Roth was born on August 19, 1988, in New York City and grew up outside of Chicago, Illinois. She attended Northwestern University, graduating in 2010. While still an undergraduate student, she wrote her debut novel, Divergent, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller upon publication in 2011. The success of the trilogy—comprising Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant—led to three major motion picture adaptations starring Theo James and Kate Winslet. She also authored companion works such as Four, expanding on key backstory elements. Roth currently lives in Chicago with her husband, Nelson Fitch, and their dog, writing full-time across young adult and adult speculative genres.
Roth's writing regularly examines social division, political control, individual autonomy, and moral choices under systemic pressure. Her storytelling relies on fast-paced action, high tension, and intimate first-person narration. While her early career established her in young adult dystopian fiction, her subsequent project releases explore adult fantasy, sci-fi duologies, and folklore-inspired urban novellas, analyzing power structures and personal identity.
