A benevolent healer, alone and with no direction, she finds herself jailed in Alohrius, Etharell's human neighbors. Not just any jailhouse, but in the country's largest knight city: Caerabis. \nHatred consumes the city's 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 Thylaina's only challenge. Something devious and horrific has befallen the marshal's pregnant wife. Thylaina's primary suspect holds a position of prestige, and the leaders are blind to the danger he threatens to others within the city. \nEvery 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.\nHer fate now entwined with the lives in Caerabis, Thylaina faces the peril looming over the knight's city.  \nThe Misfortunate Maiden joins Mary's collection of Fates of Emvarr novels.
