Mapping the Mist
Description
Malaika longed to escape the mundane life on her father's farm...
but she didn't expect to be stolen by a dragon and taken far away from home.
Life on the farm had always been redundant. With no future other than marriage, Malaika has grown antsy to explore the world. Upon hearing her father's plans to marry her off to a trader, Malaika makes a plan to escape. Yet, the plan is derailed when her father's dragon takes flight with her on its back, carrying her far away from home.
After soaring through the sky, the dragon deposits Malaika in an unfamiliar oasis at the edge of the City of Errat. With no knowledge of this new land, Malaika befriends an old couple with an inclination for magic. Enthralled by their abilities, Malaika agrees to stay with them. Yet, little does she expect them to help her navigate her destiny and lead her straight into the arms of Death.
With her life dangling by a strand of yarn, Malaika is left with an opportunity: to accept her destiny and Death's gripping hold, or to map out her own future and redefine the role Death itself.
In this installment of The Story Collector's Almanac, join Malaika as she remaps not only her destiny, but that of the Council of Mist Keepers found in The Mist Keeper's Apprentice.
