This is one of my favorite moments from our story thus far... the moment when Rivke sneaks into her father's office.
It's our first indication that things aren't what they seem; that there's more to the rabbi than meets the eye. If memory serves, I scripted the moment as "it should feel like a cross between a rabbi's office and an adventurer's hideout"... which Tina clearly knocked out of the park :)
Also, we had some fun here, sneaking in little easter eggs and homages to some of our favorite movie MacGuffins... do you see any that you recognize?
Think STRANGER THINGS meets FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (but without the songs)... PALE OF SETTLEMENT is a YA fantasy set in 1881, after the assassination of Czar Alexander II (which really happened!). And after evil Cossacks kidnap a rabbi with a dark secret, it'll be up to his daughter to find the legendary Golem and save her dad... and the entire Russian empire. Along the way, she'll encounter monsters, magic... and romance!
