Reunited

When 17 year-old Ruby O'Doyle learns that she was born a twin, she is furious with her mother for keeping the secret for so long. Her mother, Ashlin, gave birth to twins girls in the city of Namche. She was then forced to leave the city and only Ruby was strong enough to go with her. Ashlin believe that Ruby's twin sister, Sab-ra, died, but has recently received a letter from the Mistress of Maidenstone, head of the school/hospital where Sab-ra was left. She sends Ruby to Namche to find her twin. To Ruby's dismay, Sab-ra left the city a year previously to warn her people in the Blue Mountains that war was coming. The Harn Army intended to take control of the People's blue diamond mine. After an avalanche struck the mystic Skygrass valley, where the diamond mine was located, Sab-ra left with Lord Rohr, a Blood Arrow guard to Say'f the Warrior King. Say'f has pledged to meet her in the King's valley, but when Sab-ra and Lord Rohr arrive, he is not there. Did he perish in the winter snows in the Blue Mountains? Is he trapped in the Lost Lake Valley? Sab-ra receives no news until the day two more Kosi Blood Arrows arrive in the King's valley
