The Truth about Mud: A 'Mangleblood Rose' Story

When an evil crow snatches a beloved medallion, young trolls Thistle and Fane have one more reason to venture outside the Clearing.

Enticed by the mysterious Anila Mountain, and angry at King Tasso for sheltering them for far too long, they're driven to search for a way across Mangleblood River.

What they find . . . will change their lives for all eternity.

"When did you get so brave?" I whispered.
"When I had someone to rescue, I guess."

"The Truth About Mud" is the first story in the Mangleblood Rose Miniseries.
