Disillusioned with humanity, Colton Anders has fled from society to seek lonely solace in conquering the most dangerous peaks of the unforgiving natural world, among them the legendary El Capitan of Yosemite Valley and the jagged spires of Chilean Patagonia. Following his self-enacted exile, he spends years pushing the limits of human ability, becoming increasingly apathetic and reckless in the process. Everything changes, though, when he unexpectedly meets a woman who turns out to be a shocking link to the past he's traveled so far and climbed so high to forget. When Colton's relationship with this woman seemingly brings generation-long injustices and secrets to light, tragedy once again threatens to collapse his fragile reality. In a thrilling, twisting, touching tale of epic proportions, a drifter more willing to face death than his own history is challenged to finally confront his greatest torments: love, faith, and hope. The contemporary fiction novel will take you to the edge of your seat and keep you there until you run out of pages to turn.
