Una maldición macabra. Una ciudad en disturbios. Un monstruo con un apetito insaciable… Marlinchen y sus dos hermanas viven con su padre mago en una ciudad que está cambiando la magia por la industria. Como últimas brujas verdaderas de Oblya, ella y sus hermanas son poco más que un reclamo turístico y se dedican a tratar a sus clientes con remedios arcaicos y a engañarlos con encantos de nostalgia. Marlinchen pasa los días adivinando secretos a cambio de rublos e intentando aplacar a su tiránico y xenófobo padre, que mantiene a sus hijas alejadas del mundo exterior. Pero de noche, Marlinchen y sus hermanas salen a hurtadillas para disfrutar de las comodidades de la ciudad y gozar de sus diversiones, concretamente en el recién estrenado teatro de ballet, donde Marlinchen conoce a un bailarín que rápidamente conquista su corazón. Al tiempo que las incursiones nocturnas de Marlinchen se hacen más fervientes y frecuentes, también crecen la ira y la magia de su padre. Y mientras Oblya prospera con la cultura y rebosa de nuevas empresas, un monstruo acecha en su interior, cargado de intolerancia y resentimiento y bañado en el poder del antiguo mundo. Atrapada entre la historia y el progreso, entre la sangre y el deseo, Marlinchen debe echar mano de su propia magia para mantener a salvo su ciudad y encontrar un lugar en ella.
A gruesome curse. A city in upheaval. A monster with unquenchable appetites… Marlinchen and her two sisters live with their wizard father in a city shifting from magic to industry. As Oblya’s last true witches, she and her sisters are little more than a tourist trap as they treat their clients with archaic remedies and beguile them with nostalgic charm. Marlinchen spends her days divining secrets in exchange for rubles and trying to placate her tyrannical, xenophobic father, who keeps his daughters sequestered from the outside world. But at night, Marlinchen and her sisters sneak out to enjoy the city’s amenities and revel in its thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theater, where Marlinchen meets a dancer who quickly captures her heart. As Marlinchen’s late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father’s rage and magic. And while Oblya flourishes with culture and bustles with enterprise, a monster lurks in its midst, borne of intolerance and resentment and suffused with old-world power. Caught between history and progress and blood and desire, Marlinchen must draw upon her own magic to keep her city safe and find her place within it.
