Synopsis
A story of one girl's search for the truth, family legacy, and her own identity. Sixteen-year-old Ari Joxan would trade in her stringed instrument for climbing shoes any day. Even if the instrument does have magical healing powers. However, when the king's ambassador decides to close Hiccups Mountain due to land disputes, Ari must face the real reason she climbs. Deep in the belly of the mountain lies the truth of her mother's death. Now Ari must climb this dangerous mountain — fast. But the truth is not all she finds there. Will she do what it takes to survive... even if it means facing her greatest fears?
