Power is shifting...
Nothing will ever be the same again.Â
Edgar, a gifted climber, is a lonely boy scaling the perilous cliffs that separate three worlds: a humble grove that is the only home he's ever known... a mysterious highland realm of untold beauty and sinister secrets, where the water is regulated by the privileged few... and a vast wasteland where life—if it exists there at all—may be something less than human.Â
Edgar is on a mission. He is looking for a treasure lost in the faded memory of his past, hidden in the forbidden rock wall looming above the grove. But the treasure reveals catastrophe. Soon Edgar finds that the world of Atherton is not what he thought it was, but something far more dangerous, with a history he could not have guesses in his wildest imagining.Â
