A remarkable young woman blazes her own trail, from the backwoods of Russia to the court of Moscow, in the exhilarating sequel to Katherine Arden's bestselling debut novel, The Bear and the Nightingale. Katherine Arden's enchanting first novel introduced readers to an irresistible heroine. Vasilisa has grown up at the edge of a Russian wilderness, where snowdrifts reach the eaves of her family's wooden house and there is truth in the fairy tales told around the fire. Vasilisa's gift for seeing what others do not won her the attention of Morozko--Frost, the winter demon from the stories--and together they saved her people from destruction. But Frost's aid comes at a cost, and her people have condemned her as a witch. Now Vasilisa faces an impossible choice. Driven from her home by frightened villagers, the only options left for her are marriage or the convent. She cannot bring herself to accept either fate and instead chooses adventure, dressing herself as a boy and setting off astride her magnificent stallion Solovey. But after Vasilisa prevails in a skirmish with bandits, everything changes. The Grand Prince of Moscow anoints her a hero for her exploits, and she is reunited with her beloved sister and brother, who are now part of the Grand Prince's inner circle. She dares not reveal to the court that she is a girl, for if her deception were discovered it would have terrible consequences for herself and her family. Before she can untangle herself from Moscow's intrigues--and as Frost provides counsel that may or may not be trustworthy--she will also confront an even graver threat lying in wait for all of Moscow itself. Praise for The Girl in the Tower " A] magical story set in an alluring Russia."--Paste "Arden's lush, lyrical writing cultivates an intoxicating, visceral atmosphere, and her marvelous sense of pacing carries the novel along at a propulsive clip. A masterfully told story of folklore, history, and magic with a spellbinding heroine at the heart of it all."--Booklist (starred review) " A] sensual, beautifully written, and emotionally stirring fantasy . . . Fairy tales don't get better than this."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)" Katherine] Arden once again delivers an engaging fantasy that mixes Russian folklore and history with delightful worldbuilding and lively characters."--Library Journal

Great for adults who need full liquid diets!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don't really write very many reviews, but I am an adult with gastroparesis and these pouches are amazing!! I've been dealing with GP for over 15 years and I wish I'd known about these sooner. When I am in a bad flare, sometimes all I can keep down is liquids and baby food. These are so gentle on my stomach, and leave me feeling truly nourished, unlike so many of the mainstream baby foods that are clearly low quality meat or very sugar laden. I try to make my own soups and liquids from a Paleo mindset, but sometimes when you're really sick, you don't have the energy to even put something in the blender. These are amazing for those times and will be a staple in my arsenal from now on.

My daughter goes crazy for these!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I was really nervous about introducing meat to my daughter, but Serenity Kids pouches made it really easy!
She loves the turkey bolognese one, and I love that it's pasture-raised with organic ingredients! My 8 & 6 year old gave them a try and said they were super yummy! Highly recommend!!

Not just for kids. A great snack for long drives.
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our daughter buys these for her toddler (1-1/2 years old). I do a lot of long distance driving and thought that these would be a convenient way to have a snack or even a small meal. I have just spent six days behind the wheel on a road trip and they worked out great! A good mixture of protein (beef, turkey, chicken) and veggies, especially the combinations. They are easy and safe to use while driving, have good flavor, are more filling than I thought they would be, and are certainly healthier than the snacks that are usually available on the road.

One Satisfied Mom and Baby
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Early on when on the hunt for baby food, this was one of the few brands where not only can I pronounce all of its organic ingredients, but the proteins were all pasture raised, wild caught and grass fed. So the true test was the taste test, SHE LOVED IT! Ate the whole thing in a matter of minutes. I use these when Iβm out or on the run and I love it because I know sheβs getting adequate nutrition with the best ingredients.

Hear Me Out!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Okay, all moms, you've got to hear me out on this one!
The first time my kiddo tried this he hated the flavor! I mentioned it in my IG stories and the company themselves sent me tips and tricks on how to serve these meats.
The problem was, my baby had never had baby meat before, just fruits and veggies. Please understand that the thickness is a little thicker, but still creamy enough for even new eaters. We tried different recipes and ideas and now my son love them and gets his proteins.
I am SUPER impressed with this company and their willingness to help and offer advice and ideas. Their products are HIGH quality and made of only the best ingredients which makes this mama very happy!
