“Mists of Tor” is a tale of adventure, danger, and self-discovery. Miri, a young girl with purple hair, elfin ears, and blue skin, stands out as the only one of her kind at home and at Citadel, the school for magical training. Unsure of who she is or where she came from, she struggles with rejection and sees herself as a freak, hiding her unusual gifts—spellcasting and the ability to travel through her drawings. Her only comforts are her friend Dogle and her beloved water dragon, Nania.

When Miri begins receiving warnings that her life is in danger, she learns that shadow goblins, sent by a vengeful queen, are hunting her. The queen wants her captured and taken to Dark Water to be killed. From that moment, Miri’s life spirals into peril, forcing her to find strength she never believed she had.

To prove herself, Miri accepts a quest to find the missing Ambrielle, whose disappearance has upset the island’s balance. Unaware of their mysterious connection, Miri becomes the queen’s primary target. With every step, she faces trials that test her courage and willpower.

Along the way, she is supported by a band of extraordinary allies: Podgkins, a shape-changing cat; Twig, a mischievous Wickersnit who prefers spider form; her loyal friend Dogle; the wise wizard Azmodeus; and Frynyth, a trapped queen dragon. Together, they battle dark forces threatening Tor’s survival.

As the queen’s power grows, Miri must confront her fears, embrace her magic, and discover the truth of her destiny. Will her gifts and newfound confidence be enough to withstand the queen’s wrath and save the island before it’s too late?
