Inspired by real Slavic bedtime stories carried across the ocean by the author's grandmother, Yetta.Whereas the domovoi in all the Bella Brown books are family-friendly and kid-fun, domovoi are ancient Slavic household guardian spirits rooted in real Eastern European folklore tradition, older, wilder, and way more interesting and dangerous than the house elves you might know from Harry Potter or other books.
