Elena lives “up the mountain” - which means she must make her own clothes, haul water three times a week, grow, harvest and hunt her own food. Her mom is ill, and they have no doctor, and she holds the recipe to the “elixir” which creates the only income for the cult-like community. Now she is being pressured to marry. Aidyn is part of the GHOST legacy team who lives in town. They finally have their own gated community - as those living on the mountain (the BRR) keep coming at them with explosives and gunfire. Aidyn and Elena have been passing notes and sneaking in times to meet to get to know each other. As the threats to Elena increase, Aidyn realizes he wants forever with her, and calls the team in to make a plan and do what they do best. Different worlds, survival, relationships, team, romance, wonders of the modern world, and phenomenal world-building included in this stellar read!
