About this book

Before three legendary heroes faced down mad tyrants and toxic mist, they were just trying to figure out who they were—and this gorgeous collection of 16 interconnected stories shows you exactly how they got there. Follow young Bleak as she chases adventure across the seas with her found family, watch Henri and her sister fight their way toward becoming elite warriors (with all the heartbreak that entails), and see ambitious Swinton discover that maybe there's more to life than climbing the ranks. Packed with the kind of character-driven moments that make you fall in love with these people long before their world goes to war, Dawn of Mist is the perfect entry point into Scheuerer's epic realm—or a beloved reunion for trilogy fans who want to know their heroes' origin stories.

yearningadventuroustenderetherealbittersweet

Ethereal yet grounded—indie folk meets fantasy orchestral. Capture the bittersweet ache of found family, the thrill of self-discovery, and slow-burn romance blooming amid adventure. Think Bon Iver's intimacy, Florence + The Machine's epic warmth, and instrumental fantasy soundtracks. Hopeful but complex.
