In the heart of Beartooth, life was simple—until the world began to change.
Ashley McPhee has always found comfort in her quiet, mountaintop community. From tending honeybees with her mom to sharing childhood adventures with her best friend, Caleb Solomon, life in Beartooth has been peaceful. But when a government plan to geoengineer the planet threatens their food supply and way of life, Ash and Caleb are forced to confront an uncertain future.
As Ash faces her mother’s failing health, Sara’s final wish adds a new layer of complexity: for Ash and Caleb to unite in marriage. Thrust into a relationship that’s evolving faster than they ever imagined, Ash and Caleb must navigate newfound emotions, unexpected tragedy, and the pressing need to protect their beloved community.
Together, they’ll battle deadly predators and embark on epic adventures to preserve their world. But can their bond withstand the pressures of a collapsing environment and the weight of Sara’s hopes?
With love, resilience, and courage, Ash and Caleb set out to build a future in a world on the brink of collapse. Will they find a way to thrive—or will the changing tides pull them apart?
