Meet the woman that was desperate enough to call him

Sofiya was born with everything a woman could dream of, a magnificent castle, beautiful gowns, and the promise that she would one day become Tsarina.

But none of it was ever her choice.

Her future was decided long before she understood what freedom meant. Because of this, Sofiya learned to survive quietly. She is observant, patient, and careful with her words. She notices the secrets others miss and always searches for the truth hidden beneath the stories she has been told.

Although she is gentle and compassionate, her silence should never be mistaken for weakness. Sofiya possesses a quiet strength that reveals itself when she finally chooses to question the life planned for her.

That curiosity draws her toward Koschei the Deathless. While the world sees an immortal monster, Sofiya wonders what could drive a man to tear his soul from his body, and whether immortality was ever truly his reward.

Sofiya is not a warrior with a sword. Her greatest act of courage is learning to choose for herself.

She is the woman who teaches Death how to live, while he becomes the first person to offer her freedom.
