Bookroo's summary
Edgar, a skilled climber, navigates the perilous walls dividing Atherton's three worlds: his familiar grove, a highland of beauty and secrets, and a wasteland hiding monstrous threats. As he searches for a forgotten treasure, Edgar learns the realms are collapsing, revealing a dangerous truth. What secrets lie in Atherton's past, and can Edgar save his world from an unimaginable future?
From the publisher
Edgar, a gifted climber, secretly scales the treacherous walls separating the three worlds of Atherton: the humble grove that is his home…a mysterious highland realm of untold beauty and sinister secrets …and a vast wasteland below, where a monstrous danger lurks that could destroy them all. While searching the forbidden cliffs for a treasure lost in his faded memory, Edgar discovers the first of many startling revelations to come: the three realms are beginning to collapse, turning his entire world inside out. Atherton is not what it seems, but something far more dangerous, with a history locked inside the mind of a madman and a future beyond Edgar’s wildest imagining.
