On the midsummer celebration of Ivana Kupala, the villagers know to stay away from the water. Danger lurks in the rivers and lakes as myths come to life. But for Luyba, her father's well is the only source of comfort. There she makes a desperate wish to save her childhood friend Danylo from certain death. Will the magic of this day help or take them deeper into troubled waters? How far would they go for each other? This short story combines fantasy with the beauty of historical Ukraine, the devotion of first love, and the courage to go after one's dreams.
