Behind the Mist: Book One of the Mist Trilogy Kindle Edition

by M.J. Evans (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (41)
Behind the Mist is a 2014 winner of the Mom's Choice Award!

A brave teen. A unicorn-in-training. A once-in-an-afterlife chance to save the world.

Nick and his horse Jazz are best friends forever. And to stay by his side, Nick would go to the ends of the Earth. But when a tragic accident takes both their lives, he’s stunned to wake up next to Jazz in horse heaven…

Jazz loves Nick with his whole heart. So when he’s granted the opportunity to become a guardian unicorn in the hereafter, he turns down the great honor unless his young friend can ride along.

But the Council of the Twelve Ancients will only allow such an unusual request if both horse and human can prove they are worthy. Tasked with muzzling a power-hungry traitor, Nick and Jazz must gallop into action to stop an evil band of betrayers.

Can Jazz and Nick find the strength to defeat their galloping nemesis?

Behind the Mist is the enchanting first book in The Mist Trilogy middle-grade fantasy series. If your child likes mythical creatures, unbreakable friendships, and magical adventures, then you’ll both love M.J. Evans heartwarming tale.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a beautifully written heroic tale that engages its readers immediately. While the realm is fantasy, the thoughts and actions of the characters are genuine. The author seamlessly blends modern day Colorado with a fantasy "After-world." The story line moves quickly so that readers maintain interest. Very appropriate for 9 years old and up. ( As a side note - This is a very comforting story for any child who has experienced the loss of an adult or a pet." Ann Goldfarb, Author
"I have read all of the books in the Mist Trilogy. They were written for kids but I found myself riveted and couldn't put the books down. My imagination was stimulated and I found myself guessing what would happen to the horses and children in the book. We need more authors to write in ways that help us see the importance of being good. Thank you!" A Fan
"I am 12 years and I got this book for Christmas. When I started reading it I could not put it down. I am in love with horses and this book suited me, if you are a horse lover you must read this." S. Wright
"Behind the Mist is a most enjoyable reading experience, full of adventure and positive life principles our world so desperately needs to embrace. I can't wait to get started on the next one!" J. Stewart

I am a graduate of Oregon State University and a lifelong equestrian. I am also a former teacher at the secondary school level. My husband, Tom, and I have 5 wonderful children and live in Colorado with our three horses and two standard poodles. I have always loved writing and using my imagination to create stories and characters. Many of my books are about horses...from the non-fiction equestrian trail guide books titled "Riding Colorado", "Riding Colorado II" and "Riding Colorado III" to my fantasy stories. The Mist Trilogy which is about the noble and great horses that become unicorns in the after-life is comprised of "Behind the Mist", "Mists of Darkness" and "The Rising Mist". I am also the proud recipient of the first place award in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards for my allegory of the revolutionary war titled "North Mystic".

I have known and loved many noble and great horses in my life so I also decided to start a blog about them. You can learn about famous and loved horses at www.themisttrilogy.blogspot.com. I love riding on trails in the beautiful Colorado mountains and competing in Dressage. So, if I am not sitting at my computer writing a new story, you can find me sitting in a saddle!

    I loved this audiobook - the story, the narration, and the beautiful sound effects. I am a fan of M.J. Evans and have read many of her books, but this was the first I listened to. It was a wonderful experience and brought me back to being a child and believing in fantastical horses and heroic characters. I highly recommend this audiobook for readers or listeners of all ages.

    Summary & Review:
    In this exciting unicorn fantasy, what begins as a simple, yet strong, bond between and boy and his horse becomes a enduring partnership that sustains Nick and Jazz through their thrilling journey into the Land Behind the Mist: Celestia. A kingdom beyond this world, ruled and protected by great and noble horses who have attained the vaulted status of unicorn. While at first Nick appears to be the only human in this world, he learns the truth behind a battle that is threatening to tear Celestia apart. With the guidance of the Council of the Twelve Ancients and their leader Urijah, Nick and Jazz must face off against the forces of evil to save not only the kingdom, but also a lonely, forsaken prisoner held captive in the darkness.

    This is the first book of M.J. Evans' new fantasy trilogy. Behind the Mist would definitely appeal to fans of fantasy and adventure, a la C.S. Lewis' best fantasy books, The Chronicles of Narnia. On the surface, the story is a fun adventure, but deeper levels hold meaning and teach a moral tale. It would be a great book for parents to read to their children to teach them important lessons while helping them gain a love of reading. I think children's fantasy stories are an excellent way to introduce the fun of reading to children. Plus, anyone with an interest in horses or unicorns would absolutely love the horse stories found within this horse-themed fantasy.

    Behind the Mist is a magical tale of courage, adventure, and, at last, conquest over the forces of evil that threaten young Nick and his noble horse, Jazz. As an adult, YA novels are not my usual cup of tea, but this story was an exception. The engaging plot kept me engrossed from beginning to satisfying ending. The positive moral lessons Nick and Jazz must learn as they venture into the mystical kingdom of Celestia make this book a must for young ones and the young at heart of all ages. Highly recommended!

    I really enjoyed reading the first book in this trilogy. Being from Colorado and having some personal familiarity with some of the landmarks mentioned in the book was a lovely addition. The concept that every horse, because they are all so special, might have the ability to become a unicorn in the next life was somehow fitting and a beautiful thought for those of us who are lucky enough to have a horse in our life. The author did a wonderful job in writing this book in a way that is interesting and capativating to both young and older adults. I am anxious to read the next installment of the trilogy. Good job!

    It's fun to watch the author grow in her ability to write all while you are whisked away to a magical world. By the end I couldn't put it down. The good characters are lovable, and the bad ones, well they serve their purpose well too. I appreciate the character lessons for young and old alike. Enjoy the journey!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A well-written early teen fantasy
    Reviewed in Australia on December 23, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I know very little about horses, but the first part put me straight on that. Evans clearly knows her stuff, and the text is easy to read and flows well. Nick and Jazz become a close team and through tragedy, they enter the alternate world of Celestia. This leads on to concerns for the residents, as Nick is only the second human to be allowed to enter.

    Behind the Mist is a well-written fantasy, full of horses, unicorns, and adventure. It is a safe, easy read suited to the early teen market and is the first book in a trilogy. Maybe a little ‘My Little Pony’ for older readers, but still, I recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars fantastical and wonderful
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Having read other books by this author, I was keen to read this one, too. And it didn't disappoint! It's a lovely story written for middle grade readers, but could be enjoyed by anyone or any age. It's classic unicorn fantasy but also fantastical enough to rival C.S. Lewis. There's nothing 'realistic' about the fantasy element, but the relationship between the young protagonist and the unicorn is real. The author has done a beautiful job of revealing the unique and powerful bond between human and animal, something so precious, we should all strive to have such a bond at some time in our lives. Whether you love horses or not, this book is a great read if you believe in the power of love and courage and you enjoy having your imagination piqued.
