The Tales of a New World
contain examples of:
Ambiguously Brown: For the Earth Walkers, whose skin is described as a "dirty, earthy color".
Black Face / Brown Face: Given the ambiguity of the ethnicity of Earth Walkers, it's hard to say exactly which of these tropes exactly apply, but Mari applies a paste made of dirt to her skin and hair so she blends in with the darker skinned Earth Walkers.
Child of Two Worlds: Mari. Her mother is an Earth Walker and her father was a Companion.
Dehumanizing Insult: Earth Walkers are called Scratchers, which is definitely a slur of some kind. Conversely, there is no slur against the Companions, not even among
Earth Called (Tales of a New World, #4)

In this last installment of the
Tales of a New World
series, love and goodness are put to the ultimate test as gods, humans, and animals come together to save everything they hold dear.
Mari, Nik, their newly formed Pack and the Wind Riders are in danger as the God of Death and his terrifying army march ever closer in Death's quest to rule the Wind Rider Plains - and to kill or enslave anyone who stands in their way.
The Pack and the Wind Riders must find a way to stop the God of Death before he poisons their world and all is lost.
There is one hope: Ralina, Death’s Storyteller. The woman Death has forced to travel at side, recording every atrocity he commits. But Ralina heeds the call of the Goddess of Life, the only being who can defeat Death, and escapes to warn the Pack and the Wind Riders with the knowledge she has accumulated during her harrowing journey. But will it be enough? Is there any way to truly stop the God of Death?
