In this fantasy series by Owen Richard Kindig, we first meet Jules, tethered to a rock-climbing rope on a cliff just below Owl Ridge—120 stories above Katahdin Falls in northern Maine. He is an environmental researcher with dark secrets. "Can it ever be undone?" Such a thought had never crossed Jules' mind on that cold May morning when he jumped to his death. He had been alone for too long—lived too many bleak years as a witness to slavery, war, environmental mayhem, and now a pandemic worsened by the president. But when he was saved by a beautiful, mysterious rock climber, he couldn't resist her kindness. With nothing left to live for, he follows Grenleigh into the 100-Mile Wilderness—eluding search parties, sheltering in caves, and crossing the deepest woods of Maine. There they debate the possibility of hope and the value of every human life. Together, they unwind centuries of historical and personal trauma, and Jules discovers what happens when an incomplete man encounters a complete woman. Reasons for hope. Forever-dreams. And the irresistible power of love.
