One day, she's snatched from her home and summoned to the capital on suspicion of being an Ashai, or magic wielder. Known as the town drunk, Bleak dangerously self-medicates with alcohol in order to try and suppress the voices in her head. In a world where magic is forbidden to use by anyone other than a royal, being able to hear the thoughts of others is a constant danger to orphan Bleak. This was easily one of my favorite fantasy novels I've ever read and I am so excited to see where this series goes!Īll Bleak wants is to find a cure for her magic. Helen was so incredibly kind and sent me an e-ARC of the full book and I somehow managed to fall even more in love with what she has created. I was absolutely hooked and reached out about reading the full Heart of Mist book. I was blown away by the fact that Helen was able to make me care so much about everything to do with this world and Bleak in such a short amount of time.
The world was beautiful, the writing was unlike any I had read, and I fell in love with Bleak. I had the opportunity to read two short stories that tie into the world of Heart of Mist back in June and absolutely loved them. The leader of an infamous society of warriors, the Valia Kindred, lays claim to her as well, and Bleak finds herself in the middle of a much bigger battle than she anticipated." Thank you to Helen Scheuerer for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for review! All opinions are my own. But the king isn’t the only one interested in Bleak’s powers. Still grieving the death of her guardian and dangerously self-medicating with alcohol, Bleak is snatched from her home by the Commander of the King’s Army, and summoned to the capital. From Goodreads: "In a realm where toxic mist sweeps the lands and magic is forbidden, all Bleak wants is a cure for her power.
