Between Sage and Mist

Written while I was struggling with my own religious upbringing, Coraleth's story is one of internal struggle and self-discovery. Forced to marry at eighteen, Coraleth believes she is finally fulfilling her life's purpose. But tragedy mars her path forward, until she is forced to escape her tiny village and find a new life in the big city of Atherton. But even here, the shiny beauty is hardly skin deep. The only place she finds true solace is away from it all-on the glistening sea. And it is here she discovers a brand new life, full of chaos, wild adventure, and a chance at new love.
