In a magical village where destinies are predetermined, Ember Shadows discovers her fate card is blank. To save her sister, she embarks on a daring journey to Mount Never.
In "Ember Shadows and the Fates of Mount Never," readers are transported to the enchanting village of Everspring, where the lives of its inhabitants are dictated by fate cards received before their twelfth birthday. These cards, originating from the mysterious Mount Never, reveal each person's purpose, profession, and even their lifespan. However, when nearly twelve-year-old Ember Shadows receives her fate card, it arrives completely blank, leaving her future uncertain. Compounding her worries, her sister's card ominously predicts that she will not survive until her next birthday. Ember is determined to defy this grim fate.
Ember embarks on a daring quest to uncover the truth behind the fate cards, venturing up the forbidden Mount Never. As she journeys through magical realms filled with wonder, trickery, and intriguing creatures, she learns that courage and love can challenge the threads of destiny. The adventure is both thrilling and heartwarming, showcasing Ember's resilience as she strives to save her sister and rewrite their futures.
With echoes of classic tales like "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Phantom Tollbooth," this beautifully illustrated story weaves themes of sisterly love, bravery, and the quest for self-discovery. As Ember navigates the challenges ahead, readers are invited to ponder the nature of fate and the power of choice. Will Ember find the answers she seeks at the top of the mountain, or will she uncover a truth that changes everything?
