“The Mountain Crown is a mystic and atmospheric adventure that explores generational memory, of being lost, regaining trust, and reclaiming the self, set in a rich world of rebellion and resistance. This book will bring readers on a journey that illuminates the meaning of freedom, the virtues and pitfalls of culture and tradition, along with the conflicts they may cause. An action-packed read for fans of Untethered Sky.” —Ai Jiang, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Linghun “This thoughtful, anti-colonial take on dragons—or, rather, suon—and the consequences of greed kept me turning the pages from fierce start to fiery conclusion.” —Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of So Let Them Burn
