A baby girl has just been born to King Crispin and Queen Cedar. She is Catkin, the heir to the throne of Mistmantle. Everyone on the island gathers for the joyful celebration of the Naming Ceremony. But that night, the princess suddenly disappears.
All clues point to her caretaker, Linty, a mother squirrel who had gone mad with grief because of a tragedy that occurred during Husk's evil reign. The islanders fall further into crisis as a mysterious illness takes hold and begins to spread. Tensions mount as strange sightings are reported—could Husk still be alive?
In this thrilling new entry in the epic Mistmantle Chronicles, the islanders will have to overcome their greatest fears to save Princess Catkin and bring stability back to their beloved home.

Author Interview: M. I. McAllister of The Mistmantle Chronicles
Released in 2024 by Plumfield Moms Podcast
Available formats: Streaming Audio
Length: 1 hrs. 4 min.
This is a re-release of an old favorite: our interview with M. I. (Margi) McAllister of the Mistmantle Chronicles. It has been about two years since this interview aired. The original interview was broken into two episodes. Our new audio engineer (Sara's son Michael) took some time this summer to clean up the sound and trim the interview so that it fits better into just one episode. We hope that you like this lovely interview with the most lovely Margi McAllister.

Reviews
The Heir of Mistmantle
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
I love that McAllister tells these kinds of stories for our children (and, honestly, for us as well). None of these topics is easy to deal with, but all of them are worked out well. And all of them give our young people something substantial to chew on as they read. As I have said in the reviews of the first two books, I submit that these are excellent stories that stretch our young people properly and in a way that edifies them. I wholeheartedly recommend this one overall and sincerely enjoyed reading it. I will, however, as always, point out some of the content that parents may wish to know about in advance so they can decide what is best for when and how to share this with their children.
