Sinopse

Whether arranged by her father or the Elf King, Thylaina will not let anyone determine her destiny. Not anymore.Thylaina escapes an unwanted betrothal to a pompous elf lord, crossing Yeuroth for a new life. A benevolent healer, alone and with no direction, she finds herself jailed in Alohrius, EtharellâÇÖs human neighbors. Not at just any jailhouse, but in the countryâÇÖs largest knight city: Caerabis. Hatred consumes the cityâÇÖs First Captain, Breydon Colmstad, and Thylaina must convince him and his marshal that she is not a thief, an elven spy, nor a danger to them, all while withholding her true identity. But Breydon is not ThylainaâÇÖs only challenge. Something devious and horrific has befallen the marshalâÇÖs pregnant wife. ThylainaâÇÖs primary suspect holds a position of prestige, and the leaders are blind to the danger he threatens to others within the city. Every deception, betrayal, and death reveals corruption within the knighthood. If those responsible for these dark deeds learn whom Thylaina truly is, they will take her into custody and use her against the Elf King.Her fate now entwined with the lives in Caerabis, Thylaina faces the peril looming over the knightâÇÖs city.áThe Misfortunate Maiden joins MaryâÇÖs collection of Fates of Emvarr novels.
