Arrow of the Mist by Christina Mercer
Middle Grade/Young Adult Fantasy
Terror strikes the Celtic inspired kingdom of Nemetona when
barbed roots breach the veil of a forbidden land and poison woodsmen, including
15-year-old Lia’s beloved father. Lia and three others embark on a quest to the
forbidden land of Brume to gather ingredients for the cure. But after her elder
kinsman is attacked and poisoned, she and her cousin, Wynn, are forced to
finish the quest on their own.
Lia relies on her powerful herbal wisdom and the memorized pages
of her late grandmother’s Grimoire for guidance through a land of soul-hungry
shades, trickster creatures, and uncovered truths about the origin of Brume and
her family’s unexpected ties to it. The deeper they trek into the land, the
stronger Lia’s untapped gift as a tree mage unfolds. When she discovers the
enchanted root’s maker, it forces her to question everything about who she is
and what is her destiny. Ultimately she must make a terrible choice: keep
fighting to save her father and the people of the lands or join with the power
behind the deadly roots to help nature start anew.
