The Mountain King

High in the snowy peaks of the Alps, Marianne defies her mother's warning and sets out across a treacherous mountain pass. When a sudden storm overtakes her, she finds herself on the brink of death-only to awaken in the hidden halls of the Mountain King. His realm is a place of firelight and treasure, where dwarves sing lullabies and golden veins run deep through the rock. The Mountain King is no fairytale; he is real, regal, and achingly lonely.
Drawn into his world by fate, Marianne finds warmth, wisdom, and love in his arms. Their secret winter together changes her forever. Years later, Marianne's daughter Susanne-gifted with uncanny powers of perception-longs to know the truth of her heritage. When mother and daughter return to the mountains, they find the Mountain King waiting. What follows is a reunion of hearts across time, a revelation of love, and a secret passion that must remain hidden from the world above.
Steeped in Tyrolean folklore and written in a lyrical, poetic style, The Mountain King is a tale of romance, longing, and the timeless bond between mortal and immortal.
