Rowan of Rin

‘Seven hearts
the journey make.
Seven ways
the hearts will break.’

The wise woman’s warning rings in Rowan’s head as he and six companions set out to climb the forbidden Mountain that towers over their village, Rin. The stream Rin depends on has stopped flowing, and these seven are seeking the source of the problem. But no one who has tried to climb the Mountain has ever returned. Legend has it that there is a dragon at the top; every morning and evening the people hear its roar.

Rowan is terrified. In a village where people pride themselves on being hardy and brave, Rowan has always been timid and shy. He is teased by the other children and belittled by the adults, who whisper that he will never be the man his father was.

This dangerous journey is Rowan’s chance to step out of his father’s shadow and earn the respect of the village. But, frightened by the perils that lie ahead, Rowan isn’t even thinking about this possibility. He’s just wondering if he can survive.

Rowan and the Travelers

‘The secret enemy
is here.
It hides in darkness,
fools beware!…
‘

The wise woman seems terrified, and her cryptic message frightens Rowan. He is wondering who the enemy could be, when suddenly the people of Rin begin falling asleep and not waking up.

What is the strange spell that has settled over Rin? If Rowan can only figure out the meaning hidden in the wise woman’s words, he may be able to save his people from this mysterious sleep and from an even worse danger to come…
.

The Travelers offer to help, but Rowan doesn’t know if he can trust them. They suggest that the answer lies in the legendary, noxious Pit of Unrin, and no living thing has ever entered Unrin and returned. If Rowan tackles its unknown hazards, will he find the knowledge he seeks? Will he even survive? Rowan needs wisdom to decide whom to trust, bravery to face the perils of his journey, and both to defeat Rin’s deadly secret enemy.

Then Rowan’s mother is poisoned, and he boldly breaks a thousand year old tradition. He refuses to choose a candidate using the customary tests until all three candidates help him find the antidote for his mother. Armed with just a cryptic rhyme, the four set forth to face perils they can’t even imagine. Will they figure out the meaning of the rhyme in time to save Rowan’s mother? Can they survive the deadly creatures that await them? And even if they do, what will happen when the hidden dangerwhich threatens everyone in the land reveals itself?
