Westvirginia Stories

The beginnings of the United States of America, as he discovers more about who and what he is.

Last year, my best friend and I went on a hike of a lifetime. No strangers to the beautiful nature of America's greatest parks, we have hiked both the East and West Coasts on trails local to us, and far away. Between the two of us, we have also explored the islands of Hawaii and the Caribbean, the majestic Rocky Mountains of Canada, and parts of Europe and East Asia. Looking for more of a challenge, and a change in scenery from the drone of suburban life, we headed on a road trip to West Virginia's backcountry, the Dolly Sods Wilderness. Despite our combined experience, we were wholly unprepared for this little known gem in the middle of Monongahela National Forest. It wasn't so much the difficulty of the hike, the diversity of terrain or vegetation, or the breathtaking summit views that made Dolly Sods so special so much as it was the rawness of nature. Dolly Sods is not officially a national park. There is no visitor center or public restroom, no formal parking lots or shuttle buses. No park rangers will come to save you. There is only one sign at the entrance of the hike and a few trail posts along the way. Otherwise, you are completely on your own.

When June was eight years old, her mother mysteriously disappeared after playing a gig with her band at a Honkey Tonk. The uncertainty of her disappearance haunted June and her younger brother, Aedon, who were left to be raised by their grandparents in the small, rural town of Toryville, where they grew up surrounded by rumors, grief, and half-remembered stories their mother used to tell-tales of mountain kings and bloodlines with roots deeper than the forest floor. Years later, at twenty-three, June is off to her Junior year at college, determined to escape Toryville and its ghosts, but June and Aedon quickly find out that the past isn't quite finished with them yet. They are taken far from the world they know, into a hidden kingdom carved into a mountain few know exists. There, June's father reigns as king-a ruler of a dying realm torn by rebellion, magic, and old debts. He claims June and Aedon are the last of his line, the only ones who can save the mountain-and that their mother's disappearance was no accident. As June unravels the truth about who her parents really were-and the legacy she was born to inherit-she must decide whether to rise and claim the crown of a kingdom built on secrets, or find a way to burn it all down.
