The Bear says he came to save her after Morozko traded his own freedom to release him. Outside, she is horrified to see the Bear (Medved) who killed her father before he was locked away. She is put into a cage as the pyre is lit, but she uses her magic to escape. However, he tells her she must live as Konstantin takes her to a funeral pyre. Instead, she asks the death-god Morozko to let her go with Solovey.
He tells Vasya to beg for her life, but she refuses. The mob descends on Vasya’s home and Konstantin kills her beloved, magical horse Solvely as the mob beats her nearly to death.
Meanwhile, a priest named Konstantin commands a mob to capture Vasya, Dmitrii’s cousin, claiming that she is a witch who set the fire. In the wake of a devastating fire, Grand Prince Dmitrii and a priest named Sasha try to decide how to help the people recover. The following version of this book was used to create this Study Guide: Arden, Katherine.
