Fear tells her to stop. Yet courage tells her not to as the world needs her. Liliya's stories and the changes they make for her listeners do not go unnoticed by the forces of that world. The Wind-the ancient Devourer-of-Stories-attacks her village, intending to steal the stories she carries. Knowing she must protect the stories, she follows the only advice she is given: to discover her own story. Her light-colored hair, a trait found exclusively among people of the north, is her only clue to her past. Will she listen to fear or courage?

Autorenporträt
Melanie Hiraguri is a writer of young adult fantasy and magical realism for all ages. A fan of storytellers like Lois Lowry, Madeleine L'Engle, Michael Ende, and J.R.R. Tolkien, she found inspiration for Mysteria from a dream one night about a magical insect, an old woman, and a sleeping girl. Five years later another dream gave her the girl's name, and she knew then she had to write the story. Notes became chapters and chapters a novel-which she dedicated to her father. A California native, Melanie lives with her husband and three children in Japan, where she works as an English teacher, translator, writer, and missionary. She holds a bachelor's degree in English Literature and a master's degree in teaching English as a second language.
