About the Book A tired old man lives alone in the ruined settlement of a splintered faction at the tallest peak in the Blood Mountains. Aided by the mysterious nature of the mountains, no creature ventures upward while he stands guard. That's how it was for nearly fifty years. Then, someone new arrives at the mountains, and the nameless guardian decides that if he is to face what's coming next and prevail, they must not leave. As the two prepare themselves, unseen threats formed by fear and regrets loom behind each of them.
