The Roots of the Mountains

William Morris

The Roots of the Mountains

The Roots of the Mountains

William Morris

Fantasy

Journey to the foot of the great mountains, where the men of Burgdale live a life apart, until a leading son ventures into the heights. There, he uncovers the looming threat of the "Dusky Men"—a proto-Orcish menace—and encounters a captivating daughter of the House of the Wolf. These entwined discoveries ignite a heroic romance, compelling the Dalesmen to unite and confront the shadowy forces threatening their freedom. William Morris, a pioneer of modern fantasy, crafts a tale of tribal alliance, mountain mystique, and the forging of a new destiny.
