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.
When Bingtown is threatened by pirates, slave riots and war with Jamaillia, Malta finds her hidden depths of strength. After Kheffria , Malta and her children Selden flee to the Rain Wilds to take shelter with the Khuprus family, Malta and Reyn deepen their courtship and Malta bonds with and helps to free [[Tintaglia]].
She survives an earthquake and escapes by the skin of her teeth with the ruler of [[Jamaillia]], Satrap [[Cosgo]]. They, along with Cosgo's Companion, are picked up by Chalcedean slavers, where they remain until Vivacia, turned pirate under Captain [[Kennit]], takes them as hostages. There, Malta is reunited with her brother [[Wintrow Vestrit]] and her aunt Althea. Reyn finds her there with help from Tintaglia, and 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.
[[Lord Golden]] apparently named his horse after her, see [[Malta]].
