The Roots of the Mountains

The Roots of the Mountains

William Morris

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.
