Alec lives a placid life after leaving the Avonellene Empire behind. In his mountain retreat he practices his energies and protects his neighbors, far from the politics and turmoil of life at court.
But politics comes calling, as his former duchy falls under the rule of a tyrant, and Alec decides to restore peace to the land he formerly ruled.
There are even greater threats arising in the world, and they will send their messengers to his own very doorstep, inciting death and chaos, and driving him to take a wild, dangerous sojourn through the unknown wilderness of the mountains to try to set a captive free, to gain revenge, and to inflict justice on the criminals who have disrupted Ridgeclimb's peace. But the journey will be complicated by the band of friends and companions he must take with him through the winter's bleak climate, trying to protect them from unknown dangers, as he considers the possibility that a band of renegade Ingenairii have come across the globe to his new home.
