Instant attraction between Zericha and Andalu won’t stop them going head to head in the race to climb Staerstone Mountain. Both are stoke-strong and desperate to take the Scepter of Peace—Zericha to protect her Wyld forest home, Andalu to claim more farmland for his starving Plainspeople.
Shocked by the Plains invading the forest, dirtbag Andalu rescues Zericha, beginning a star-crossed relationship that cuts deep across cliff and culture.
Climbing Staerstone Mountain will force them to face lies obscured in their pasts, reveal the dark natures of others, and what lies within their own hearts. It strips them of everything they have, and everyone they care for until, alone, they’re forced to rely upon each other.
Danger presses on their tail and from deep within the mountain. Unseen threats in the darkness and sky blaze closer. As the quest flips and forces them to delve into the mountain and ancient myth, will Zericha and Andalu follow their hearts or their duty? Can they find a way to hold onto their world and each other?
