Dawn of Mist

"Dawn of mist is the companion prequel story collection to Helen Scheuerer's bestselling trilogy, The Oremere chronicles. Before their fight to save the realm from mad tyrants and toxic mist, Bleak, Henri and Swinton led separate lives. In the novel-length collection of prequel stories, teenage Bleak sails across the seas, seeking adventure with her best friend, Bren, and guardian, Senior - only to discover that trouble often finds her first. Fiercely loyal Henri and her twin sister, Sahara, train relentlessly to become elite warriors, but soon learn that the Valiant Way can be crueller than they ever thought. A young and ambitious Commander Swinton struggles to prove himself worthy of knighthood, but an encounter with a beautiful stranger show him that there are things in life more important than titles. Join our three heroes as they embark on nail-biting sea voyages, daring jousting tournaments and terrifying mountain ascents.
