 Eventually, [[Satrap Cosgo]], the ruler of [[Jamaillia]], comes to Bingtown and is the guest of honor at a ball. During this, she is introduced to him and dances with Cosgo, Reyn, and Cerwin during the night. There are rumblings of danger coming and Reyn leaves the ball, leaving Malta broken hearted. The Vestrit family soon follows, with Davad Restart offering them a ride alongside the Satrap and one of his two [[Companion of the Heart|Companions]], [[Kekki]]. During the ride back, the carriage is attacked to kidnap the Satrap and prevent a [[New Trader]] plot to take over Bingtown. During the attack, Malta is severely injured.
-Keffria, Malta and Selden flee to the Rain Wilds to take shelter with the Khuprus family. Malta heals, and she and Reyn settle their differences and deepen their courtship. Drawn to the [[Elderling]] city, [[Frengong]], Malta bonds with and helps to free Tintaglia. She is in the sunken city while large earthquake collapses her way out. She survives and escapes by the skin of her teeth with Satrap Cosgo and Kekki in tow. They are picked up by a Chalcedean ship, that sails away, meets up with a larger ship, and then sails towards Jamaillia. During the journey, Kekki dies and Malta uses the power vacuum to take up the reins and negotiate on behalf of the Satrap. They remain with this Chalcedean raiding ship until Vivacia, turned pirate under Captain [[Kennit]], takes them as hostages.

Malta convinces the captain, [[Red (Captain)|Red]], to take her and the Satrap seriously and present their deal for freedom to [[Kennit]]. They meet up with Vivacia and Kennit, and Malta and the Satrap are brought onboard.
-On board the Vivacia, Malta is reunited with her brother Wintrow and her aunt [[Althea Vestrit]]. Reyn is reunited with her after a search with help from Tintaglia. After a complicated series of negotiations that result in a new political alliance between Bingtown and Jamaillia, Tintaglia confirms Malta is an [[Elderling]] through their mutual association.

+'''Malta Vestrit''', or Malta Haven, is the daughter of [[Keffria Vestrit]] and [[Kyle Haven]]. She is the middle sister to older brother [[Wintrow Vestrit]] and younger brother, [[Selden Vestrit]]. Betrothed to [[Reyn Khuprus]].
 == Childhood ==
-Malta grows up in Bingtown, the spoiled only daughter of Kyle and Keffria. She is raised by her Chalcedean father to be ladylike and retiring, a marked contrast to her aunt [[Althea Vestrit]] and her grandmother [[Ronica Vestrit]], who are strong, outspoken and independent.

For most of the time after [[Ephron Vestrit|Ephron Vestrit's]] death, Malta runs counter to what her grandmother and mother want her to do.
-== Appearance ==
+She loves beautiful and elaborate clothing, to the extent that before a Trader's Ball, she sneaks off and commissions a dress she imagines to be the height of fashion, but which, on her arrival, proves to be tawdry and inappropriate. [[Davad Restart]] discovers her before she can enter the Ball proper, and brings her home before other [[Old Trader]] families see her and embarrass the Vestrits. Malta resents how overbearing her family seems to her and still chases after young men, particularly [[Cerwin Trell]], her best friend [[Delo Trell|Delo's]] brother.

When another Trader family discovers her before she can enter the Ball proper, and instructs her to go home, she accidentally catches the eye of Reyn Khuprus, a mysterious, veiled, [[Rain Wilds|Rain Wilder]].
+After some time learning how to run a household, balance the books, and other adult tasks, Malta is treated a bit more like she is growing up. During a Trader meeting at the [[Bingtown Traders' Concourse]], she goes outside with her wineglass to get some air. She accidentally catches the eye of Reyn Khuprus, a veiled [[Rain Wilds|Rain Wilder]]. Not knowing who he is or the importance of what they're doing, she speaks with him. It is cold outside and she accepts his offering of a scarf to keep her warm and later offers Reyn her wineglass. This seems to indicate a mutual interest to Reyn, and he pursues a courtship.
 == Early Adulthood ==
-Malta is flirtatious and likes the idea of stringing her beaux along, enjoying a sense of achievement that they would fight to be with her. She all but commits herself to [[Cerwin Trell]], while accepting courting gifts from Reyn which have more significance than she realizes; she shares a dream-box with Reyn and the Khuprus family offers to forgive the debt on the Vestrit liveship [[Vivacia]] in return for betrothal to Reyn.
