Book I: The Fortune-teller’s Daughter
Like most of Alterra’s Roamers, Solé and her family make most of their living at the yearly Solstice Festival in the capital. A seer-in-training, Solé’s been gifted with the sight—but lately, the people and places her mind shows her when she sleeps have her wishing her talent away. It’s enough to make her jealous of the payos or non-roamers. Sure, a dose of their “miracle” drug, Crumble, would block her visions, but it’d be worth it if kept the nightmares at bay for a few nights.
Because there’s no explanation for what Solé sees nearly every time she closes her eyes: a fairy-tale village, hidden in the Fog, and shadows with glowing eyes all around, creeping ever closer.
Book II: The Witch’s Apprentice
Solé Covari is stuck. Literally, she’s trapped in a strange fairy-tale village in the middle of the Fog. She’s found safe haven, but how safe can it be if she can’t leave? After all, rule number one in the tribes is the simplest of all: Roamers need freedom to roam.
Sure, she’s learning a lot about the history of Alterra and the world beyond from the village’s resident wise woman and witch, Miriam, and she’s even got two cute boys to keep her company, but what about her little sister, Dora, and the rest of her family? Will she ever see them again?
Book III: Oracle Rising
(Coming soon)
No safe place lasts forever. Solé Covari’s found respite from the Fog and its horrors (however briefly) in the fairy-tale village of Vall de Nog, but the locals in the tiny village want her gone, with the exception of Pixie (an actual fairy) and Ulysses, a rock troll. But not even Solé’s tutor, the village’s resident witch and wise woman, Miriam, can convince them to let her young charge stay.
Outsiders aren’t welcome in the little hamlet—the council is too scared of angering the Old Ones, and Solé can’t blame them for that. Besides, it was never her intention to linger so long. She owes it to her family to get back to her tribe. But to do it, she’ll have to journey into and eventually through the Fog and live to tell the tale.
