Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the Emperor’s royal
explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry,
mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could
be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a

Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the Emperor’s royal
explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry,
mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could
be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a
chance.
But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River
Shara, the greatest explorer ever known, arrives in her village
and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister Lusha, as
everyone had expected—for his next expedition. This is Kamzin’s
chance to prove herself—even though River’s mission to retrieve a
rare talisman for the emperor means climbing Raksha, the tallest
and deadliest mountain in the Aryas. Then Lusha sets off on
her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer who is determined
to best River, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to
her: protecting her sister from the countless perils of the climb
or beating her to the summit.

The challenges of climbing Raksha are unlike anything Kamzin
expected—or prepared for—with avalanches, ice chasms, ghosts, and
even worse at every turn. And as dark secrets are revealed,
Kamzin must unravel the truth of their mission and of her
companions—while surviving the deadliest climb she has ever
faced.
