A rising tide puts Mistmantle’s peace at risk

After a long period of peace following the Raven War, a series of tidal waves forces the animals of Mistmantle to seek higher ground. The crisis also creates an opening for Mossberry, whose ambitions and reckless choices endanger the island’s inhabitants. Urchin, his page Corr, and members of King Crispin’s court must coordinate the move to safety as the waters rise. The description also hints at a personal loss when the tide carries a beloved islander beyond the mists. Disaster, political ambition, and the responsibility of protecting a community shape this animal fantasy.

Book overview

With the wise guidance of King Crispin, the animals of Mistmantle have enjoyed a long period of peace and prosperity since the violent Raven War.

The tranquility is disrupted when a series of tidal waves threatens to destroy the island. The inhabitants must quickly move to higher ground to avoid the devastation. But Mossberry, an influential squirrel with delusions of grandeur, sees the impending disaster as an opportunity to rise to power...and his reckless decisions will put many citizens in harm's way.

In a race against time, Urchin of the Riding Stars, his page, Corr, and the Circle of King Crispin's court must stop Mossberry and usher the animals of Mistmantle to safety. And when the rage tide sweeps a beloved islander beyond the mists, there is only one thing to be done.

Beautiful cover by Christine Enright, beautiful black and white drawings by Janna Mattia.
