Dans une clairière au cœur de la forêt ukrainienne, la vie du jeune Ivan bascule l'année de ses dix ans. Sur un piédestal repose une jeune fille endormie. Mais, dissimulée par le feuillage, une présence malveillante le guette... et l'enfant s'enfuit. Des années plus tard, Ivan, qui s'est expatrié en Amérique avec ses parents, revient à Kiev poursuivre ses recherches sur les langues slaves anciennes. Il retourne aussi dans la forêt où gisait la belle endormie dont il n'a jamais oublié l'image. La clairière n'a pas changé. La jeune fille est là. Son mystérieux gardien aussi. Cette fois Ivan ne s'enfuit pas. Cette fois il embrasse la belle qui s'éveille à son baiser. Puis... il l'accompagne chez son père le roi de Taïna, dans l'Ukraine du neuvième siècle, où la sorcière Baba Yaga fait peser une terrible menace. Avec ENCHANTEMENT, Orson Scott Card revisite LA BELLE AU BOIS DORMANT pour en faire une fantasy moderne et puissante.
