The Winternight trilogy is a series of adult historical fantasy novels written by American author Katherine Arden. The trilogy consists of The Bear and the Nightingale (2017), The Girl in the Tower (2017), and The Winter of the Witch (2019). The story surrounds Vasilisa "Vasya" Petrovna, a girl who has inherited a spiritual gift to see and speak with the fantastical creatures that inhabit her medieval Russian village. This leads her to a conflict with a priest of the Orthodox Church who becomes convinced that she is a witch. Vasya's talents also attract the favour and ire of the enigmatic frost-demon Morozko and his sinister brother Medved.
