A Riftwood Chronicles novelWhen four college freshmen from Vermont; Avery, Maya, Elias, and Noah; are yanked out of campus life and dropped onto the Ridge of Whispers, nothing about magic looks the way fantasy promised. Weather is invoiced, bridges tattle, and dragons fly on harnesses of glass and debt. Villages don't need heroes; they need people who can make the world behave. When a nameless Buyer arrives to "sell protection" by turning storms into bills, the ridge braces for ruin.
To save the hill-town of Braeholt, the four must learn the Ridge's quiet rhythm and unwrite the Buyer's laws before he can teach the sky to charge for rain. From kiln-seamed slopes to the Drowned Shelf and up the needle-cut stairs of a counting tower, their fight is not for prophecy but for practice: turn spectacle back into work and make new tricks old.
