Travels and Tales: Difference between revisions

 

=== Volume III: Year of the Rat ===

'''''Year of the Rat''''' is the third journal in the ''Travels and Tales'' series. The journal is centred around Rivers' sudden transformation into a Rat fae at the hands of a mysterious magical rat living in the Cielo sewer after an attempted manhunt by the Tyrant King and Veric of Uradon (referred to as "the Lord of Uradon, curse his wretched soul"). The book later documents her return to Blackthorn after her self-imposed exile to Cielo, her relationship with the ruling Valtara dynasty, and her sudden ascendance to the title of Mayor of Blackthorn after Lord Valtara's disappearance. ''Year of the Rat'' was originally written with the intention of being the closing act of ''The Tyrant King'', with the novel starting with Rivers being beaten and left for dead, to her turning around and becoming mayor of the city, though due to the eventual length of ''The Tyrant King'', the two were split into two entries.
