Conquering the Beast

“Ella took a deep breath while still adjusting to the altitude. At the bottom, breathing was easy. At the top, everything was different.” 

In a town that once flourished, Ella watches everything she once enjoyed fall apart. With the wise words of her grandmother, Ella embarks on a mission to climb the tallest mountain and defeat the fiercest beast. But who is she trying to save? Her town or herself?

Readers are invited to come along on Ella’s journey as she encounters helpful friends, enormous obstacles, and far more than she can possibly imagine.
