Spirits of the Mist

The little village of Malagwa was like any other Eskimo village in the upper confines of the Arctic, except for the mischievous spirits who wafted across the lands in a cold mist to claim the lives of both children and adults.
There was no hiding from the death grip of the spirits who entered igloos at their will. All the village’s families were too concerned with their own fears to bother with the other’s sorrows, yet one family lived the farthest, banished to the outskirts of Malagwa—a single mother and her daughter, Itherica, the Demon child.
During one of the community’s regular seances, conducted by the Soul Seeker of the Malagwan, the Witch Mother sees death, war, and another disturbing vision—that the spirits will soon come for Itherica. The villagers have no choice but to banish Itherica from Malagwa, hoping that the spirits will not snatch anyone else.
The Malagwan named these spirits Jenagoa; playful, but downright mean child spirits with more than a score to settle with the Malagwan. But in time, it becomes clear to the Malagwan that whoever seeks truth in the dark will find something very different in its place.
