The Demon Descends from the Mountains

Once the Rotten Lands were called the Valley of the Happy Springs. People flowed into the valley from all sides in search of healing, until the gods imprisoned a cursed spirit in the mountains surrounding it.

Two girls enter the Cave... of Silence. One is a victim, chosen by an ancient custom. The other is sneaking in, driven by the desire to save her parents from a deadly illness. But the Mountain Spirit awaits only one bride, with whom he is ready to share the loneliness of the world hidden in the cave, and his curse. Fantasy based on Adyghe mythology and legends
