After losing everything, Ellie and her family start over on Echo Mountain, where she roams freely and stumbles on a mystery—someone is leaving her delicate wooden carvings hidden in the woods.
When her father is badly injured, Ellie sets out to find a cure. Her journey leads her to Cate, the feared mountain witch, and Larkin, a boy as wild as the hills. Through them, she learns the power of healing, courage, and looking beyond first impressions.
