Kaelan Averindale feels the pull of magic in her veins—the whisper of wind, the rustle of leaves, the call of something ancient. Life in her mountain village was meant to be simple, until a missing friend and forgotten magic draw her into a perilous journey. With her closest friends, Thayer and Rhea, Kaelan ventures into the Grimspire Mountains, uncovering cryptic ruins, shadowy creatures, and a history older than the mountains themselves. As dark forces awaken, Kaelan must confront her family’s legacy and a magic that could save their world—or destroy it. Shadows Beneath the Mountain is the first book in The Shadows Beneath Saga, an epic fantasy of ancient magic, dangerous secrets, and a destiny that could reshape the world.
