Gardens Of Mist (The Traveler's Gate Chronicles: Collection #2) - Plot & Excerpts
To protect their minds, they cut themselves off from each other. This is understandable, perhaps, but it is also a tragic weakness. If we are to heal them, we must first show them what they lack. -Elysian Book of Virtues, Chapter 4: Rose Today, I learned why Damascan magistrates don’t accept eyewitness testimony gathered in Asphodel. It’s not like I didn’t know what could happen to people out in the Mist. I’ve lived in the Gardens my entire life. I was born here, in a hollowed-out tree on the edge of the Midnight Fields. Every day, I step out of my door and walk into the Mist without a second thought. I’m not rich enough for a carriage, and I have to get to work somehow. I give the Mist nothing to feed on, so it can’t touch me. My emotions are my own, locked up and held tight until I’m back between four walls. I’m no Traveler, bending the Mist to my will, but I know how to survive. That’s why it always surprises me a little when someone vanishes into the forest and is never heard from again, except as a drifting voice on the wind. Don’t they know any better?
