Orfana e sola, costretta ad abbandonare il suo villaggio, Vasja dovrà rassegnarsi a trascorrere la vita in un convento o a permettere alla sorella maggiore di darla in sposa a un principe moscovita. Entrambe le strade la condannano a una vita in una torre, tagliata fuori dal vasto mondo che invece desidera esplorare. Così sceglie una terza via: travestendosi da ragazzo cavalca attraverso il bosco per sfuggire a un destino che altri hanno scritto per lei. A Mosca, intanto, la corte imperiale è scossa da lotte di potere e tumulti.

In uno sperduto villaggio ai confini della tundra russa, l'inverno dura la maggior parte dell'anno e i cumuli di neve crescono più alti delle case. Ma a Vasilisa e ai suoi fratelli non importa, perché adorano trascorrere le notti riuniti accanto al fuoco, ascoltando le fiabe della loro balia. Vasya ama soprattutto la storia di Frost, il demone invernale dagli occhi blu, che appare nelle notti gelide per reclamare le anime incaute. Per questa ragione i saggi russi lo temono e onorano gli spiriti affinché proteggano le loro case dal male.

Mosca è in preda alle fiamme, e per salvarsi Vasja deve fuggire via, inseguita da tutti coloro che la accusano di morte e distruzione. Raggiunge così il regno della Mezzanotte, una terra magica fatta di ogni mezzanotte passata, presente e futura. Ma rimanere lì sarebbe una condanna a morte per tutta la sua famiglia e per le sue terre... Intanto il Gran Principe di Mosca è in preda alla rabbia e alla frustrazione, e sceglie alleati che lo condurranno su un percorso di guerra e rovina.
