The Mountain's Daughter Finds Her Voice
High in the mountains of Danland sits Mount Eskel, a village isolated from the kingdom below. Here, fourteen-year-old Miri lives a life defined by what she cannot do. Too small to work in the linder quarry where her village derives its livelihood, Miri feels useless in a community where worth is measured by contribution to quarry work. Each morning she tends goats-a child's job-while watching her sister Marda and father cut the precious stone that builds lowland palaces. The rejection stings, creating a painful divide between Miri and her father that she doesn't understand. Life in Mount Eskel follows ancient rhythms. The villagers have developed "quarry-speech," a mysterious ability to communicate through stone. Their economy depends entirely on seasonal traders who purchase linder blocks at whatever price they dictate. When Miri attempts to negotiate with a trader named Enrik, he offers half what she asks, mockingly adding honey to "sweeten the deal" and joking that she might someday be his queen-a comment that will prove ironically prophetic. Despite the hardships of mountain life-simple meals, carefully rationed supplies, harsh winters-there's profound beauty in their existence: mountain songs, tight-knit community bonds, and breathtaking landscapes. This delicate balance is about to be shattered by news from the kingdom below.
