A father, a son, and a catastrophe. What will it take to reconcile them and keep their community alive?
Life at the edge of the frozen habitable land is rough, but the people of Storeheltur have learned to survive for four hundred years by mining and trading, but when the last merchant leaves without enough malachite to make the trek worthwhile, the community is doomed to extinction... unless, they can find a new strain of ore and convince another merchant to return.
Kristjan just wants the voices to be silent. He knows he's not made out to be chief, and when his attempt to keep the community alive goes fatally wrong, he wishes someone else would see the failure he is. Instead, his betrothed watches him with hopeful eyes and his father calls him to the high standard of chief's son. Only his cousin agrees that Storeheltur would be better off without him.
The chief of Storeheltur must bear the weight of the whole community, but Geirfinnur has also had the burden of his own grief and raising his son without his wife. He thinks he's done a decent job, but is it enough? Can he bridge the ever-widening gap between him and his son to save both Storeheltur and his son?
If you love captivating stories that you can't put down, character-driven stories of battles we all fight, and stories that show the power of strength to overcome, then you'll enjoy Kandi J Wyatt's epic fantasy.
This coming-of-age fantasy is the first of a duology that follows two different young men, and the women who love them, trying to find their place in the world and discover where their worth lies.
