King Stakh's Wild Hunt

King Stakh's Wild Hunt tells the tale of Andrey Belaretsky, a young folklorist who finds himself stranded by a storm in the castle of Marsh Firs, the seat of the fading aristocratic Yanovsky family. Offered refuge by Nadzeya, the last in the Yanovskys’ line, he learns of the family curse and terrible apparitions that portend her early death and trap her in permanent, maddening fear.

3.5. This is a compelling story but not a genre I typically enjoy reading, which is why I didn't give a higher rating. I struggled with understanding the character's motives and did not like the fairy tale ending. Overall, a book I would recommend for Belarus, but not a stand out book.
