I read a book at a library a while ago. I didn't read the whole thing, just the first few chapters.
There was a plantation with slaves. At night, the plantation would always be covered in fog. One day, a man came to visit the owner, and met with the slaves. The next chapter was about a slum girl who was pretending to be a noble. I think she had extremely high luck.
This is all I remember about it, but if anyone could figure out the title, I would appreciate it.
Could this be The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson?
Vin is a part of a crime group who is seeking to swindle some money. She has made it her life’s goal to be as meek as possible, having endured abuse from both crime and her brother who betrayed her. She has a unique hidden skill she calls luck that places people in favour of her boss Camon, but this skill is discovered and explained by Kelsier.
The plantations are notably misty and the locals are afeared of it.
The skaa hovels loomed in the waning light. Already, Kelsier could see the mists beginning to form, clouding the air, and giving the moundlike buildings a surreal, intangible look. The hovels stood unguarded; there was no need for watchers, for no skaa would venture outside once night arrived. Their fear of the mists was far too strong.
