What if Solana had been a Wintown Ranger?
When Solana goes to Fall City, intending to be taken in by Spenser and work in Ringtown, she quickly proves her worth as a Ranger, and Spenser realizes she may not be fit for the sleepy atmosphere of the small town, and a discussion with the Ranger leaders of Fiore leads to her going to Wintown for her work.
When she arrives, she doesn't expect her life to change as much as it does. Certified as a Ranger too soon and left in Elita's care, Solana is thrust into the plot of the Go-Rock Squad. Learning to survive in the harsh, cold climate of northern Fiore, Solana is entrusted with the fate of the region, whether anyone likes it or not, and must make the journey across Fiore in order to pursue the enemies she's discovered.
Along the way, she meets Lunick, and a fateful night in Ringtown makes her realize that he's far more than she expected, and that she's more than anything he could have imagined once the two head through Summerland's jungles and into the town's local ruins.
Solana learns, through her experiences, what it truly means to be a Ranger and put one's life on the line for the world they love.
It begins and ends in the Sekra Range.
