This is an interesting short story about a young girl, Voroza, who lives with her grandmother in the woods. She falls in love with Juri, a boy from the nearby village, but her grandmother forbids her to see Juri or spend time with any of the villagers. Voroza’s grandmother claims they are of noble breeding, but doesn’t explain anything more about where Voroza is from.

Voroza is desperate to see Juri, however, and this desperation leads to extreme consequences. Vorenza must then learn to live a life she is unprepared for.

Vorenza is at times a petulant teenager who makes you sympathize with her grandmother and the challenge she has raising the girl. At other times, Vorenza seems just an innocent child who simply needs some guidance. No matter which side of Vorenza you see, you will ask yourself: are you seeing the true Vorenza?

Definitely a story for older readers and/or for those who like a quick read of the paranormal.… (plus d'informations)
