And even though Wes disrupts every aspect of her life, Margaret is drawn to him. Margaret begrudgingly allows him to stay, but on one condition: he must join the hunt with her.Īlthough they make an unlikely team, Wes is in awe of the girl who has endured alone on the outskirts of a town that doesn’t want her, in this creaking house of ghosts and sorrow. But when Wes arrives at Welty Manor, he finds only Margaret and her bloodhound Trouble. Fired from every apprenticeship he's landed, his last chance hinges on Master Welty taking him in. While Margaret is the best sharpshooter in town, only teams of two can register, and she needs an alchemist. If Margaret wins the hunt, it may finally bring her mother home. Whoever is able to kill the hala will earn fame and riches, and unlock an ancient magical secret. When Margaret Welty spots the legendary hala, the last living mythical creature, she knows the Halfmoon Hunt will soon follow.

In the last era (Petersburg cuisine), many French, German, Dutch, and Italian meals were incorporated into Russian foods, such as lamb and pork. During the Peter and Catherine the Great era, minced meat was incorporated into dishes and other European countries' cuisine was also mixed into Russian foods. During this century, more food appeared, because new countries were annexed. The rich had meat and delicacies, such as caviar, while the poor had the most simple dishes. In the seventeenth century, cuisine was separated based on economic class. Many current Russian dishes were inspired from Asian cultures, such as pelmeni. Many Russians used honey and berries and made them into gingerbread, which is still a popular Russian dessert. Kasha, such as buckwheat and oats, were represented as wellbeing to the household. During gatherings, a loaf of bread and salt was always present. Women baked pies with many different fillings, such as mushrooms or berries. In the Old Russian period, the main food groups were bread, grains, and other foods that contained starch. The history of Russian cuisine was divided in four groups: Old Russian cuisine (ninth to sixteenth century), Old Moscow cuisine (seventeenth century), the cuisine that existed during the ruling of Peter and Catherine the Great (eighteenth century), and finally Petersburg cuisine, which took place from the end of the eighteenth century to the 1860s.
