The Girl and the Mountain

In Mark Lawrence's thrilling sequel, "The Girl and the Mountain," Yaz finds herself further entangled in the harsh realities of Abeth, a world dominated by an endless ice sheet and the formidable priests of the Black Rock. Having defied their authority and been ripped from her ice tribe, Yaz's journey of self-discovery and survival intensifies. She's lost her former allies, gained new adversaries, and is burdened by the knowledge of her world's true history and the looming threat of the Hidden God's power. Her ultimate dream—a verdant, southern land—seems an impossible distance away, across an unfathomable expanse of ice. Before she can even contemplate such a monumental trek, Yaz must confront the immediate past, uncover the fate of those she holds dear, and endeavor to rescue any who remain. Abeth guards its ancient secrets fiercely, but with the stars as her guide and an unyielding will, Yaz is determined to unravel the truth and forge her own destiny in a world determined to break her.
