This is an old edition. Sometimes, the nearest thing you have to family isn't your family by blood.
Sted and Dalt are as close as real brothers but are raised worlds apart-Sted is the real son and heir to his family's wealth and impressive lineage. But in the shadow of Conshe Mountain, the boys live simply, enjoying each other and their surroundings.
As the boys grow to adulthood, their paths are plagued with tragedy and heartache, which affects them both in different ways. While one of the men tries to protect and hold onto the memories of his past, the other is challenged to be faithful to the family that was once such a symbol of strength.
When Sted, struggling to come to terms with trauma and discrimination, begins to exhibit signs of a troubled mind, Dalt attempts to help him navigate the rough waters. But tensions rise as Sted spirals downward, and the situation escalates beyond either of their abilities to control.
Conshe Mountain is a tale of two boys growing into men, the good lives they hope to lead, and the family that could tear them apart.
