Luckless

The first book in The Misadventures of Mariah Miller. See how the story begins!

 

Brave heroes, epic battles, and magical quests… These are the things ordinary Mariah Miller dreams about from her quiet corner of the world. Born into a village that sees her as a bad omen, Mariah longs for escape—and the chance to prove she’s more than just a bad luck charm.

That chance comes when her father and brother are kidnapped by the mysterious Shadow Master. Against all odds, Mariah sets out alone to rescue them, only to find herself entangled in an ancient curse and a country on the brink of war.

Joined by a shabby old knight, his grouchy squire, and a giant black dog named Moose, Mariah must navigate dangers, buried secrets, and the looming Darkness sweeping across the land. If she’s going to save the people she loves, she’ll have to defy her fate and discover the extraordinary within herself.

A whimsical, heart-filled fantasy about courage, belonging, and the quiet power of believing in your own story.
