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.
