They called him a curse. Now he is their only chance.
Twelve-year-old Arka survives on street magic and scattered pennies in the fog-covered town of Mistvale. But when his tricks become real, the townspeople see something dangerous.
Then the enchanted Heart that protects Mistvale from a deadly winter disappears—and Arka becomes the prime suspect.
Armed with his grandfather’s cracked pocket mirror, Arka follows a trail of magic no one else can see. His unlikely ally is Maya, a clock keeper’s daughter who trusts evidence, understands machines, and questions everything.
Together, they venture beneath an abandoned theatre, where a stolen invention is waking and someone powerful is hiding behind the town’s fear.
To uncover the truth, Arka must master the gift he has spent his life trying to hide.
Arka and the Stolen Heart of Mistvale is an illustrated fantasy mystery filled with Victorian atmosphere, unlikely friendship, dangerous secrets, and unexpected twists. This first adventure reaches its conclusion while opening the door to a larger mystery.
Enter Mistvale. Follow the silver trail. Discover what lies beneath the gaslight.
